The   Reference   Passage   Bible 

New  Testament. 


This  Book  comprises  the  New  Testament  portion  of  The  Reference  Passage  Bible  and 
appears  in  two  forms:  In  two  volumes  known  as  "The  Parallel  Gospels  and  Reference 
Passages,"  and  "The  Acts,  Epistles,  Revelation  and  Reference  Passages";  and  a 
Rombined  volume  entitled  as  seen  above. 

GENERAL  PURPOSE.  Scripture  is  its  own  best  interpreter,  but  the  constant  use  of 
a  concordance  or  a  Marginal  Reference  is  laborious  and  time  consuming.  And  that  there  may 
be  a  conservation  of  mental  energy  as  well,  the  full  text  of  each  reference  passage  is  given 
upon  the  same  page  with  the  Scriptural  text  that  is  being  studied.  There  are  many  advantages 
in  having  Scripture  along  one  line  of  thought  grouped  together,  under  the  eye  and  hand,  for 
reflection  ;  so  as  to  make  deductions  by  comparison  or  association,  generalizing  or  specializing, 
so  that  one  may  draw  logical  conclusions,  and  have  the  assurance  that  they  are  Scriptural 
beyond  doubt. 

AUTHORITIES.  The  Authorized  text  and  marginal  notes  are  used  throughout.  In 
the  matter  of  harmony  and  chronology,  Robinson,  Andrews,  Butler,  Kephart  and  others  were 
consulted.  The  Reference  Texts  and  reference  passages  are  those  found  in  the  Bibles  in  com- 
mon use,  with  some  exception,  and  thousands  more  drawn  from  Canne,  Browne,  Blayney, 
Scott,  Cobbin  and  others.  The  principle  governing  the  collations  is  that  of  direct  relevancy  to 
the  thought  of  the  text  indicated,  without  reflection  or  purpose  as  to  doctrine.  The  work  is 
without  note  or  comment,  and  the  association  of  Scriptures  that  chances  by  grouping  them,  is 
not  intended  to  confirm  or  deny  any  doctrine.  Each  student  is  left  to  draw  his  own  con- 
clusions. We  desire  to  acknowledge  the  very  valuable  assistance  of  Mr.  J.  F.  Kempfer  in  the 
compilation  of  the  Gospels. 

METHODS  OF  STUDY.  Several  well  defined  methods  of  study  may  be  pursued  with 
facility.  First  the  ordinary  method  of  reading  chapters  and  verses  in  their  consecutive  order, 
[n  reading  the  Gospels  thus,  recourse  may  be  had  to  the  Chapter  and  verse  index,  since  Chro- 
nological order  breaks  up  the  consecutive  order  in  a  slight  manner.  The  Second  method  is 
analytical  in  its  character  ;  and  has  as  its  object  the  acquiring  of  more  complete  knowledge  of 
the  books  of  the  Bible,  by  a  close  investigation  of  their  contents.  For  this  purpose  there  is  a 
division  into  Sections  (§)  called  topics,  which  may  be  seen  to  advantage  in  the  Topic  Index. 
The  Third  method  is  topical  in  its  character.  For  this  purpose  superior  reference  letters  will 
be  found  throughout  the  consecutive  Scripture  text  (largest  type)  ;  these  designate  important 
texts,  subjects  or  thoughts,  and  refer  to  groups  of  passages  along  the  same  line  of  thought,  but 
in  such  different  connections  that  one's  knowledge  of  the  subject  is  thereby  expanded.  The 
fourth  method  is  Synthetic  in  its  character,  and  its  application  will  be  found  a  little  farther  on. 
Other  methods  might  be  mentioned,  but  these  are  sufficient  for  rudimentary  study  ;  and  per- 
haps, too,  it  is  better  t|iat  each  individual  should  be  directed  in  large  measure  by  his  own  spirit 
in  particulars. 

GENERAL  DIRECTIONS.  There  are  604  topics  marked  as  sections  (§).  The  Gospels 
covering  225  of  this  number,  and  the  Acts,  Epistles  and  Revelation,  the  remaining  379.  The 
consecutive  Scripture  text,  or  Text  of  the  Topic,  as  it  is  often  referred  to,  is  found  in  10  pt. 
(largest)  type.  The  Reference  Passages,  are  given  in  8  pt.  (next  to  largest)  type;  and  other 
references  and  marginal  notes  are  given  in  6  pt.  (smallest)  type.  The  two  open  pages  always 
serve  for  one;  as  will  be  seen  by  the  sectional  title  lines,  which  are  made  to  extend  across  both. 

Hi 


iv  THE  REFERENCE  PASSAGE  BIBLE  NEW  TESTAMENT. 

The  superior  reference  letters  C,  *, ",  etc.,)  in  The  Text  of  the  Topic,  point  out  important  texts, 
subjects,  persons,  places,  words,  phrases,  etc.,  for  study  and  refer  to  the  groups  of  passages 
from  various  portions  of  the  Scriptures  in  8  pt.  type,  under  corresponding  v-apital  letters 
(A,  B,  C,  etc.).  A  passafje  is  never  repeated  on  the  same  open  pages;  if  it  is  needed  a  second 
time,  it  is  referred  to  in  its  first  place.  Thus:  "Acts  2.  4.  See  under  D.''^  (See  it  under  H, 
3d  col.  pages  628,  629  §227.)  It  may  be  referred  to  thus:  "Acts  2.  24.  See  text  of  topic, ^^ 
which  means  you  shall  look  into  the  large  type  of  the  section  you  are  studying,  for  it.  (See  S,  4th 
col.  page  638,  639  )  Reference  is  also  made  to  some  other  part  of  the  book,  where  the 
same  subject  has  been  fully  developed,  to  avoid  increasing  the  size  of  the  book  beyond  con- 
venient handling,  thus:  "Acts  I.  8.  See  k,  K,  §  22^,  page  628.^^  (See  T,  4th  col.,  pages 
638,  639);  the  small  k  in  this  reference  refers  to  the  superior  reference  letter  in  the  Text  of  the 
topic,  pointing  out  the  subject.  The  large  A' refers  to  the  group  of  passages  in  8  pt.  tyj>e,  and 
teaches  that  the  subject  should  always  be  read  first  and  the  passages  afterwards;  otherwise  the 
latter  might  not  associate  with  proper  sense.  A  passage  usually  contains  other  thoughts  besides 
the  one  for  which  it  was  chosen. 

The  Analytical  Method.  This  method  implies  studying  by  books.  Its  purpose  is 
to  ascertain  what  a  book  contains.  It  may  be  concerning  its  authorship,  to  whom  addressed* 
when  and  where  written,  the  purpose,  geographical  and  historical  setting;  conditions  sur- 
rounding the  writer— those  addressed,  its  teachings,  doctrines,  etc.  But  should  the  young 
reader  not  wish  to  enter  into  so  close  an  inspection,  then  let  him  read  each  book  carefully,  time 
and  again,  until  he  can  make  for  himself  a  few  very  general  divisions,  as  the  following  upon 
The  Acts: 

I.  The  ascension  and  closing  events  of  our  Lord's  life  on  earth. 

II.  The  disciples  awaiting,  and  receiving  the  Holy  Spirit — Marking  the  inception  of  the 
Christian  Church. 

III.  Peter  and  John  the  principal  workers.  Disciples  increase  greatly.  Troubles  arise 
without,  difficulties  within,  all  of  which  is  entrusted  to  the  Holy  Spirit.  Joy,  peace  and  love 
rule  the  congregation — The  character  of  the  early  Church  is  here  set  forth. 

IV.  The  Church  expands.  Deacons,  or  stewards,  are  chosen.  vStephen  and  Philip  are 
the  principals.  Evangelistic  work  begins.  Persecutions  grow  sore.  The  first  martyrdom  comes 
like  a  thunder  clap  and  scatters  the  lovely  community  into  all  the  world  to  become  witnesses  of 
the  gospel. 

V.  Saul  now  appears  upon  the  scene.  Peter  introduces  the  Gentile  branch  of  the 
Church  that  the  former  is  to  champion.  Barnabas  appears  in  his  strength,  and  as  a  foster 
brother  to  Saul. 

VI.  Missionary  work  begins.  The  supremacy  of  Paul's  ministry  asserts  itself.  The 
mighty  apostle  to  the  Gentiles  stands  out  conspicuously  with  satellites  of  his  own,  almost  a 
dictator;  nevertheless,  beautifully  submissive  to  the  mother  Church  at  Jerusalem,  the  oracle  of 
the  Son  of  Righteousness. 

VII.  Persecution  always,  everywhere  present,  closes  this  intensely  interesting  history  of 
the  early  Church.     Paul  is  a  prisoner  at  Rome,  where  he  established  the  gospel. 

It  will  be  noticed  that  the  chapters  and  verses  designating  t,he  beginning  and  the 
closing  of  these  divisions  are  not  given;  let  each  reader  do  that  for  himself.  The  topic  index 
for  each  book  will  give  some  help  along  this  line;  but  in  most  instances,  the  divisions  are  too 
numerous  to  be  easily  retained  in  the  mind  for  ready  use. 

THE  TOPICAL  METHOD.  This  method  consists  in  studying  any  text,  subject,  or 
topic,  in  the  light  the  Scripture  itself  may  throw  upon  it.  To  illustrate:  turn  to  pages  626, 
627,  S  226.  Acts  I.  3.  {Text  of  the  topic)  under  f.  "Speaking  of  the  things  pertaining  to 
he  kingdom  of  God."     Now  turn  to  the  group  of  passages  under  F  in  the  4th  column.     Read 


THE  REFERENCE  PASSAGE  BIBLE  NEW  TESTAMENT. 

these  carefully.  Notice  what  Daniel  says  about  the  kingdom:  "God  shall  set  it  up."  "Never 
be  destroyed."  "A  powerful  kingdom."  "Stands  forever."  Matthew  says:  "It  is  at 
hand."  "Those  Jews  lose  it,  another  nation  gets  it."  Luke  says:  "It  cometh  not  with  ob- 
servation." "  Is  within  you."  Romans  says:  "  It  is  not  meat  and  drink  but  righteousness  and 
peace  and  joy  in  the  Holy  Ghost."  Meditate  over  the  several  statements  and  a  '^learer  under- 
standing of  the  Kingdom  of  God  may  be  found. 

The  character  of  these  deductions  will  change;  on  some  texts  they  are  simple,  upon 
otners  more  complex.  Sometimes  the  collated  passages  are  merely  similar  incidents,  others 
the  peculiar  use  of  a  word.  The  biography  of  a  person.  Sometimes  they  stand  to  show  the 
relation  of  one  event  to  another.  Often  they  are  prophecies,  or  Mosaic  law  relevant  to  the 
subject. 

This  method  is  well  adapted  for  those  who  teach,  lead  meetings,  or  exhort.  And  it  is 
here  the  study  of  the  scattered  truth  takes  the  form  of  synthesis. 

THE  SYNTHETIC  METHOD.  This  -method  is  the  very  opposite  of  the  Analytic. 
To  illustrate  simply:  Take  an  apple,  divide  it,  remove  the  core,  carefully  lay  it  to  one  side; 
now  pare  the  rind  from  it  equally  careful;  you  have  the  pulp  remaining;  three  distinct  parts; 
each  different  from  the  other;  you  have  Analyzed.  Now  return  each  part  to  its  proper  place 
as  well  as  you  can,  so  that  you  can  recognize  the  apple  again.  This  latter  is  a  simple  act  of 
Synthesis.  But  the  Synthetic  study  of  the  scattered  truth  of  the  Scripture  is  not  so  simple;  in  the 
illustration  you  had  the  pattern  of  the  apple  before  you  first;  whereas,  in  the  matter  of  truth 
we  are  not  possessed  of  the  pattern  until  it  is  taught  us,  or  we  see  it  in  the  Lord,  deducted  from 
the  Word  of  God.  And  this  truth  must  be  laid  together  for  our  several  needs.  Read  Isa.  28: 
9-13.  And  we  trust  it  may  be  done  after  the  manner  God  has  laid  down.  Read  I.  John  2:27. 
Synthetical  study  will  then,  as  you  see,  be  applied  after  you  have  acquired  some  scattered  truth 
of  a  subject  or  topic;  arranging  them  into  logical  thought,  or  series  of  thoughts,  so  as  to  enable 
you  to  give  forth  the  truth  in  an  intelligent  manner. 

TEACHING  S.  S.  LESSONS.  Most  S.  S.  Lesson  Helps  tend  to  omit  the  use  of  the 
Bible  itself.  This  work  holds  that  purpose  especially  in  view.  Let  every  child  who  can  read 
readily  be  provided  with  a  Bible.  If  they  possess  one  of  their  own,  use  it.  For  example  of 
application  turn  to  Acts  12  :  ii,  page  706,  (ist  col).,  under  k  and  /,  The  Text  or  Subject  is, 
The  Lord  delivering  out  of  trouble.  Now  look  to  the  passages  under  K  and  L  (2nd,  3rd  cols.): 
let  the  first  child  find  Ps.  34  : 7  in  his  own  Bible;  by  simple  questions  draw  out  how  those  who 
fear  God  are  protected.  Let  another  find  Ps.  33  :  18,  19;  still  another,  Job  5  :  19,  questioning 
to  a  point  of  instruction  each  time.  When  the  subject  has  been  exhausted,  review  it  by  sum- 
ming up  the  scattered  facts  and  expounding  them  more  fully  and  completely  unto  the  perfect 
truth.  By  this  method  the  young  learn  to  handle  the  Bible  with  aptness;  they  are  taught  to 
think  upon  what  is  read;  God's  will  and  promises  are  known  by  his  Word;  and  their  own  Bibles 
will  become  endeared  to  them,  and  possess  a  value  not  likely  to  be  acquired  in  any  other  way. 

Adult  classes  may  be  supplied  with  the  Book;  these  are  more  apt  to  choose  a  method  of 
their  own,  so  that  we  shall  only  add,  that  reasoning  and  comparison  of  different  views  may  profit- 
ably engage  their  attention  after  they  have  satisfied  themselves  with  the  facts  that  constitute  • 
the  setting  of  the  lesson. 

DIRECTIONS  FOR  THE  STUDY  OF  THE  GOSPELS.  Turn  to  pages  54  and  55. 
You  observe  four  columns;  one  for  each  of  the  gospels  respectively.  It  is  the  i6th  §  ;  that  is 
the  sixteenth  event  in  our  Lord's  life,  viz.,  "The  Temptation."  It  probably  occurred  in 
January  ot  February  of  A.  D.  27,  in  the  desert  of  Judea.  You  will  now  notice  that  this  event 
is  recorded  by  Matthew  in  the  4th  chapter:  l-li;  by  Mark  i  :  12,  13  and  by  Luke  3  :  23  ;  4  : 1- 
13.  This  you  will  know  by  the  large  type  text  in  their  respective  columns.  In  John's 
column  you  see  no  large  text  type;  thereby 'it  may  be  known  that  John  gave  no  record  of 
1 


vi  THE  REFERENCE  PASSAGE  BIBLE  NEW  TESTAMENT. 


this  event-  The  gospel  names  at  the  head  of  the  columns  apply  only  to  large  type  text. 
Looking  over  the  gospel  text  as  given  here  by  the  three  first  named  gospels,  beginning  with 
Matthew,  superior  reference  letters,  a,  b,  c,  etc.,  will  be  seen  located  here  and  there,  indicat- 
ing the  more  important  thoughts  of  the  topic;  these  refer  to  the  groups  of  passages  in  smaller 
type  designated  correspondingly  by  capital  letters  thus:  A,  B  C,  etc.,  e.  g.  the  b  in  the  1st 
verse  of  Matthew  4,  at  the  head  of  the  left  hand  column  refers  to  the  thought  of  being  "led 
by  the  Spirit."  Under  B  in  the  lower  half  of  the  same  column  will  be  found  Scripture 
quoting  other  instances  of  the  same  character.  Under  the  "A"  will  be  found  referenca 
made  to  the  text  of  topic;  this  indicates  that  the  first  verses  given  in  Matthew's  and  Mark's 
columns  and  the  second  one  in  Luke's  column  are  along  the  same  line  of  thought.  Turning 
to  pages  56  and  57  it  will  be  found  that  there  the  subject  is  concluded.  On  this  page  Mark 
has  no  parallel  account,  his  record  being  very  brief. 

How  TO  Study.  For  the  fatnily  circle,  and  for  those  who  desire  to  begin  a  regular 
reading  of  the  Scriptures,  we  recommend  that  first  of  all,  section  after  section  of  the  gospel  text 
(large  type)  be  read  in  whatever  column  or  columns  it  may  be  found.  This  course  will  render 
every  portion  of  the  gospels,  and  present  a  continuous  Chronological  narrative  of  our  Lord's 
Life  without  any  change  from  the  Bible  except  the  order  of  arrangement.  To  be  interested  in 
a  matter  one  must  be  busied  therein.  Therefore  parents  should  encourage  children  to  collect 
pictures  illustrating  events  in  our  Lord's  life,  and  tell  the  story  they  represent  in  a  simple  man- 
ner. Sunday-school  lesson  pictures,  journals,  papers  and  the  family  Bible  are  fruitful  sources. 
Family  worship  should  largely  be  instruction  for  children. 

How  TO  Study.  With  the  Map,  Another  exercise  in  which  the  older  children  will 
participate  with  zeal  is  the  study  of  places  as  associated  with  our  Lord's  journeys  up  and  down 
the  Holy  Land.  Procure  a  map  of  "  Palestine  in  the  time  of  Christ  \  "  lesson  journals  contain 
them.  Begin  with  section  4;  "Annunciation  to  Mary"  at  Nazareth.  Read  the  text  and  trace 
every  movement  of  Mary  and  Jesus  in  the  order  given.  Observe  the  outline  given  on  page  VI. 
Devote  a  map  to  each  of  the  periods  given.  Or  if  desired,  all  of  his  life  up  to  the  first 
passover,  §  4 — §  20  on  the  first  map;  and  each  passover  year  on  each  succeeding  map  as  fol- 
lows: §  21 — §  36;  §  37 — §  85;  §  86 — §  202.  The  value  of  this  exercise  cannot  be  over-estimated. 
The  work  of  the  hand  in  tracing  over  the  map  makes  a  lasting  impression,  and  aids  the  mind 
to  properly  associate  the  teachings  of  the  gospels. 

MAPS  AND  INDICES.  Several  maps  are  provided  that  easy  reference  may  be  made 
to  places  mentioned.  An  Index  of  the  Books  of  the  New  Testament  giving  their  arrangement 
Sections  C§)  and  pages  will  be  found  on  page  VII.  A  Chapter  and  verse  index  for  Matthew, 
Mark,  Luke  and  John  on  page  1418,  and  a  topic  Index  on  page  1402.  If  at  any  time  it  should 
be  desired  to  locate  3  subject,  the  text  of  which  is  not  known,  a  concordance  should  be  used 
to  ascertain  the  texts,  then  by  referring  to  the  indices  here  given,  the  subject  can  readily  be  found. 
To  have  added  a  concordance,  or  even  a  word  index,  would  have  so  increased  the  size  of  the 
book  that  it  would  not  serve  as  a  handbook  convenient  to  carry. 

CONCLUSION.  In  conclusion  we  will  add  that  the  Lord  is  the  Christian's  portion. 
In  this  work  it  was  sought  to  draw  each  one  closer  to  him.  His  words  are  Spirit  and  Life 
(John  6  :  63) ;  they  abide  for  ever,  and  they  are  our  meat  and  drink  (I.  Peter  2  :  2).  Therefore 
as  did  Paul  to  the  Ephesian  elders — "I  commend  you  to  God,  and  to  the  word  of  his  grace, 
which  is  able  to  build  you  up  and  to  give  you  an  inheritance  among  all  them  which  are 
sanctified."  L  N.  J.

MATTHEW. 


MARK. 


Prov.8.  22  The  Lord  possessed  me  in  the  be- 
ginning of  his  way,  before  his  works 
of  old. 

23  I  was  set  up  from  everlasting, 
from  the  beginning,  or  ever  the  earth 
was. 

24  When  there  were  no  depths,  I  was 
brought  forth;  when  there  were  no 
fountains  abounding  with  water. 

25  Before  the  mountains  were  set- 
tled, before  the  hills  was  I  brought 
forth : 

26  While  as  yet  he  had  not  made 
the  earth,  nor  the  fields,  nor  the  high- 
est part  of  the  dust  of  the  world. 

27  When  he  prepared  the  heavens,  I 
was  there:  when  he  set  a  compass 
upon  the  face  of  the  depth : 

28  When  he  established  the  clouds 
above :  when  he  strengthened  the  foun- 
tains of  the  deep : 

29  When  he  gave  to  the  sea  his  de- 
cree, that  the  waters  should  not  pass 
his  commandment :  when  he  appointed 
the  foundations  of  the  earth : 

30  Then  I  was  by  him,  as  one  brought 
up  with  him:  and  I  was  daily  his  de- 
light, rejoicing  always  before  him ; 

31  Rejoicing  in  the  habitable  part  of 
his  earth  ;  and  my  delights  were  with 
the  sons  of  men. 

Col.  1.  17  And  he  is  before  all  things,  and 
by  him  all  things  consist : 

IJno.l.  1  That  which  was  from  the  begin- 
ning, which  we  have  heard,  which  we

handled,  of  the  Word  of  life ; 

Rev.l.  2  Who  bare  record  of  the  word  of 
God,  and  of  the  testimony  of  Jesus 
Christ,  and  of  all  things  that  he  saw.

dipped  in  blood:  and  his  name  is

fellow,  saith  the  Lord  of  hosts :  smite 
the  Shepherd,  and  the  sheep  shall  be 
scattered  :  and  I  will  turn  mine  hand 
upon  the  little  ones.

me  with  thine  own  self  with  the  glory 
which  I  had  with  thee  before  the  world 
was.

the  fellowship  of  the  mystery,  which 
from  the  beginning  of  the  world  hath 
been  hid  in  God,  who  created  all 
things  by  Jesus  Christ: 

Col.  1.  16  For  by  him  were  all  things  creat- 
ed, that  are  in  heaven,  and  that  are 
in  earth,  visible  and  invisible,  whether 
they  he  thrones,  or  dominions,  or  prin- 
cipalities, or  powers:  all  things  were 
created  by  him,  and  for  him :

unto  us  by  his  Son,  whom  he  hath  ap- 
pointed heir  of  all  things,  by  whom 
also  he  made  the  worlds ; 

Rev.  4.  11  Thou  art  worthy,  O  Lord,  to  re- 
ceive glory  and  honour  and  power: 
for  thou  hast  created  all  things,  and 
for  thy  pleasure  they  are  and  wer© 
created.

John  5.  26  For  as  the  Father  hath  life  in 
himself ;  so  hath  he  given  to  the  Son 
to  have  life  in  himself;

hath  given  to  us  eternal  life,  and  this 
life  is  in  his  Son.

Walk  while  ye  have  the  light,  lest

John  3.  19  And  this  is  the  condemnation,

high  priests,  the  word  of  God  came

John  1.  33  And  I  knew  him  not :  but  he  that 
sent  me  to  baptize  with  water,  the

shalt  see  the  Spirit  descending,  and 
remaining  on  him,  the  same  is  he

come  after  him,  that  is,  on  Christ  Jesus.

18  Now  the  "birth  of  Jesus  Christ 
was  on  this  wise :  When  as  his  mother 
Mary  was  espoused  to  Joseph,  before 
they  came  together,  she  was  found 
with  child  ^  of  the  Holy  Ghost. 

19  Then  Joseph  her  husband,  being 
a  just  man,  and  not  willing^ to  make 
her  a  public  example,  was  minded  to 
put  her  away  privily. 

20  But  while  he  thought  on  these 
things,  behold,  the  angel  of  the  Lord 
appeared  unto  him  in  a  dream,  saying, 
Joseph,  thou  son  of  David,  fear  not  to 
take  unto  thee  Mary  thy  wife;  ^for 
that  which  is  ^conceived  in  her  is  of 
the  Holy  Ghost. 

21  ^And  she  shall  bring  forth  a  son, 
and  thou  shalt  call  his  name  ^JESUS : 
for  /he  shall  save  his  people  from 
their  sins. 

22  Now  all  this  was  done,  that  ^  it 
might  be  fulfilled  which  was  spoken 
of  the  Lord  by  the  prophet,  saying, 

23 '^Behold,  a  virgin  shall  be  with 
child,  and  shall  bring  forth  a  son,  and 
^they  shall  call  his  name  Emmanuel, 
which  being  interpreted  is,  *  God  with  us. 

24  Then  Joseph  being  raised  from 
sleep  did  as  the  angel  of  the  Lord  had 
bidden  him,  and  took  unto  him  his  wife :

8  And  there  were  in  the  same  country 
shepherds  abiding  in  the  field,  keeping 
'watch  over  their  flock  by  night. 

9  And,  lo,  the  angel  of  the  Lord  came 
upon  them,  and  the  glory  of  the  Lord 
ahone  round  about  them  ;  "and  they 
were  sore  afraid. 

10  And  the  angel  said  unto  them. 
Fear  not :  for,  behold,  I  bring  you 
good  tidings  of  great  joy,  ^which  shall 
be  to  all  people. 

11  ^For  unto  you  is  born  this  day  in 
the  city  of  David  ^a  Saviour,  «which  is 
Christ  the  Lord. 

12  And  this  shall  he  a  sign  unto  you ; 
Ye  shall  find  the  babe  wrapped  in 
"waddling  clothes,  lying  in  a  manger. 

13  -^  And  suddenly  there  was  with  the 
angel  a  multitude  of  the  heavenly  host 
praising  God,  and  saying, 

14  ^Glory  to  God  in  the  highest,  and 
)n  earth  ^peace,  *good  will  toward  men. 

15  And  it  came  to  pass,  as  the  angels 
were  gone  away  from  them  into  heaven, 
the  Shepherds  said  one  to  another.  Let 
us  now  go  even  unto  Bethlehem,  and 
see  this  thing  which  is  come  to  pass,

that  thou  shouldest  be  my  servant  to 
raise  up  the  tribes  of  Jacob,  and  to 
restore  the  preserved  of  Israel :  I  will 
also  give  thee  for  a  light  to  the  Gen- 
tiles, that  thou  mayest  be  my  salvation 
unto  the  end  of  the  earth. 

Isa.  60.  1  Arise,  shine ;  for  thy  light  is  come, 
and  the  glory  of  the  Lord  is  risen  up- 
on thee. 

2  For,  behold,  the  darkness  shall 
cover  the  eartli,  and  gross  darkness 
the  people :  but  the  Lord  shall  arise 
upon  thee,  and  his  glory  shall  be 
seen  upon  thee. 

3  And  the  Gentiles  shall  come  to  thy 
light,  and  kings  to  the  brightness  of 
thy  rising. 

Isa.  60.  19  The  sun  shall  be  no  more  thy 
light  by  day ;  neither  for  brightness 
shall  the  moon  give  light  unto  thee  : 
but  the  Lord  shall  be  unto  thee  an 
everlasting  light,  and  thy  God  thy 
glory. 

Matt.  4.  16  The  people  which  -sat  in  darkneSs 
saw  great  light ;  and  to  them  which  sat 
in  the  region  and  shadow  of  death 
light  is  sprung  up. 

Acts  13.  47  For  so  hath  the  Lord  commanded!

light  of  the  Gentiles,  that  thou  should

*' waiting  for  the  consolation  of  Israel :

cumcision, a  seal  of  the  righteousness 
of  the  faith  which  he  had  yet  being 
uncircumcised :  that  he  might  be  the 
father  of  all  them  that  believe,  though 
they  be  not  circumcised ;  that  right- 
eousness might  be  imputed  unto  them 
also : 

Rom.  4.  16  Therefore  it  is  of  faith,  that  it 
might  be  by  grace ;  to  the  end  the 
promise  might  be  sure  to  all  the  seed  ;

also  shall  not  wither ;  and  whatsoever 
he  doeth  shall  prosper. 

Jer.  17.  7  Blessed  is  the  man  that  trusteth  in 
the  Lord,  and  whose  hope  the  Lord

by  the  waters,  and  that  spreadeth  out 
her  roots  by  the  river,  and  shall  not 
see  when  heat  cometh,  but  her  leaf

shall  cease  from  yielding  fruit. 

Eze.l5.  2  Son  of  man,  What  is  the  vine  tree

above  all :  he  that  is  of  the  earth  is 

earthly,  and  speaketh  of  the  earth  :  he 

that  cometh  from  heaven  is  above  all. 

C 

John  8.  58  Jesus  said  unto  them,  Verily,  ver- 
ily, I  say  unto  you,  Before  Abraham 
was,  I  am. 

Col.  1.      17  And  he  is  before  all  things,  and 
by  him  all  things  consist : 
D 

Johns.  34  For  he  whom  God  hath  sent 
speaketh  the  words  of  God :  for  God 
giveth  not  the  Spirit  by  measure  unto 
him. 

Eph.  1.  6  To  the  praise  of  the  glory  of  his 
grace,  wherein  he  hath  made  us  ac- 
cepted in  the  beloved : 

7  In  whom  we  have  redemption 
through  his  blood,  the  forgiveness  of 
sins,  according  to  the  riches  of  his 
grace ; 

8  Wherein  he  hath  abounded  toward 
us  in  all  wisdom  and  prudence  ; 

Col.  1.  19  For  it  pleased  the  Father  that  in 
him  should  all  fulness  dwell : 

Col.  2.  9  For  in  him  dwelleth  all  the  ful- 
ness of  the  Godhead  bodily. 

10  And  ye  are  complete  in  him, 
which  is  the  head  of  all  principality 
and  power : 

E 

Ex.  20.  1  And  God  spake  all  these  words, 
saying, 

Deut.  4.  44  And  this  is  the  law  which  Moses 
set  before  the  children  of  Israel : 

Deut.  5.  1  And  Moses  called  all  Israel,  and 
said  unto  them,  Hear,  O  Israel,  the 
statutes  and  judgments  which  I  speak 
in  your  ears  this  day,  that  ye  may 
learn  them,  and  keep  and  do  them. 

Deut.33.  4  Moses  commanded  us  a  law,  even 
the  inheritance  of  the  congregation  of 
Jacob. 


Rom.  3.  24  Being  justified  freely  by  his  grace 
through  the  redemption  that  is  in 
Christ  Jesus : 

R(.m.  5.  21  That  as  sin  hath  reigned  unto 
death,  even  so  might  grace  reign 
through  righteousness  unto  eternal 
life  by  Jesus  Christ  our  Lord. 

Rom.  6.  14  For  sin  shall  not  have  dominion 
over  you:  for  ye  are  not  under  the 
law,  but  under  grace. 

G 

John  8.  32  And  ye  shall  know  the  truth,  and 
the  truth  shall  make  you  free. 

John  14.  6  Jesus  saith  unto  him,  I  am  the 
way,  the  truth,  and  the  life :  no  man 
cometh  unto  the  Father,  but  by  me. 

H 

Ex.  33.  20  And  he  said,  Thou  canst  not  sen 
my  face :  for  there  shall  no  man  see 
me,  and  live. 

Deut.  4.  12  And  the  Lord  spake  unto  you 
out  of  the  midst  of  the  fire :  ye  heard 
the  voice  of  the  words,  but  saw  no 
similitude ;  only  ye  heard  a  voice. 

Matt.ll.  27  All  things  are  delivered  unto  me 
of  my  Father :  and  no  man  knoweth 
the  Son,  but  the  Pother;  neither 
knoAveth  any  man  the  Father,  save 
the  Son,  and  he  to  whomsoever  the 
Son  will  reveal  him. 

Luke  10.  22  All  things  are  delivered  to  me  of 
my  Father :  and  no  man  knoweth  who 
the  Son  is,  but  the  Father ;  and  who 
the  Father  is,  but  the  Son,  and  he  to 
whom  the  Son  will  reveal  him. 

John  6.  46  Not  that  any  man  hath  seen  the 
Father,  save  he  which  is  of  God,  he 
hath  seen  the  Father. 

I  Tlm.l.  17  Now  unto  the  King  eternal,  im- 
mortal, invisible,  the  only  wise  God, 
he  honour  and  glory  for  ever  and  ever. 
Amen. 

ITim.6.  16  Who  only  hath  immortality, 
dwelling  in  the  light  which  no  man 
can  approach  unto ;  whom  no  man 
hath  seen,  nor  can  see:  to  whom  be 
honour  and  power  everlasting.    Amen. 

I  Jno.  4,  12  No  man  hath  seen  God  at  any 
time.  If  we  love  one  another,  God 
dwelleth  in  us,  and  his  love  is  per- 
fected in  us. 

I  Jno.  4.  20  If  a  man  say,  I  love  God,  and 
hateth  his  brother,  he  is  a  liar :  for 
he  that  loveth  not  his  brother  whom 
he  hath  seen,  how  can  he  love  God 
whom  he  hath  not  seen  ?

he  gave  his  only  begotten  Son,  that 
whosoever  belie veth  in  him  should 
not  perish,  but  have  everlasting  life. 

18  He  that  believeth  on  him  is  not

8  And  Abraham  said.  My  son,  God 
will  provide  himself  a  lamb  for  a 
burnt  ofiering :  so  they  went  both  of 
them  together. 

Ex.  12.  3  Speak  ye  unto  all  the  congregation

house  of  their  fathers,  a  lamb  for  a

of  the  throne  and  of  the  four  beasts, 
and  in  the  midst  of  the  elders,  stood  a 
Lamb  as  it  had  been  slain,  having 
seven  horns  and  seven  eyes,  which  are 


Y — Concluded. 
.he  seven  Spirits  of  God  sent  forth 
into  all  the  earth. 

7  And  he  came  and  took  the  book 
cut  of  the  right  hand  of  him  that  sat 
upon  the  throne. 

8  And  when  he  had  taken  the  book, 
the  four  beasts  and  four  and  twenty 
elders  fell  down  before  the  Lamb, 
having  every  one  of  them  harps,  and 
golden  vials  full  of  odours,  which  are 
the  prayers  of  saints. 

9  And  they  sung  a  new  song,  saying. 
Thou  art  worthy  to  take  the  book,  and 
to  open  the  seals  thereof:  for  thou 
wast  slain,  and  hast  redeemed  us  to 
God  by  thy  blood  out  of  every  kin- 
dred, and  tongue,  and  people,  and 
nation ; 

10  And  hast  made  us  unto  our  God 
kings  and  priests :  and  we  shall  reign 
on  the  earth. 

'  11  And  I  beheld,  and  I  heard  the 
voice  of  many  angels  round  about  the 
throne,  and  the  beasts,  and  the  elders : 
and  the  number  of  them  was  ten  thou- 
sand times  ten  thousand,  and  thou- 
sands of  thousands ; 

12  Saying  with  a  loud  voice.  Worthy 
is  the  Lamb  that  was  slain  to  receive 
power,  and  riches,  and  wisdom,  and 
strength,  and  honour,  and  glory,  and 
blessing. 

13  And  every  creature  which  is  in 
heaven,  and  on  the  earth,  and  under 
the  earth,  and  such  as  are  in  the  sea, 
and  all  that  are  in  them,  beard  I  say-

upon  the  throne,  and  unto  the  Lamb 
for  ever  and  ever. 

14  And  the  four  beasts  said,  Amen. 
And  the  four  and  twenty  elders  fell 
down  and  worshipped  him  that  liveth 
for  ever  and  ever. 


Isa.  53.  11  He  shall  see  of  the  travail  of  his 
Boul,  and  shall  be  satisfied :  by  his 
knowledge  shall  my  righteous  servant 
justify  many ;  for  he  shall  bear  their 
iniquities. 

Hos.  14.  1  O  Israel,  return  unto  the  Lord 
thy  God;  for  thou  hast  fallen  by 
thine  iniquity. 

2  Take  with  you  words,  and  turn  to 
the  Lord  :  say  unto  him.  Take  away 
all  iniquity,  and  receive  us  graciously : 
so  will  we  render  the  calves  of  our 
lips.

Z — Concluded. 

I  Cor.l5.  3  For  I  delivered  unto  you  first  of 
all  that  which  I  also  received,  how 
that  Christ  died  for  our  sins  accord- 
ing to  the  Scriptures ; 

Gal.  1.  4  Who  gave  himself  for  our  sins, 
that  he  might  deliver  us  from  this 
present  evil  world,  according  to  the 
will  of  God  and  our  Father : 

Heb.  1.  3  Who  being  the  brightness  of  his 
glory,  and  the  express  image  of  his 
person,  and  upholding  all  things  by 
the  word  of  his  power,  when  he  had  by 
himself  purged  our  sins,  sat  down  on 
the  right  hand  of  the  Majesty  on  high ; 

Heb.  2.  17  Wherefore  in  all  things  it  be- 
hooved him  to  be  made  like  unto  his 
brethren,  that  he  might  be  a  merciful 
and  faithful  high  priest  in  things 
pertaining  to  God,  to  make  reconcilia- 
tion for  the  sins  of  the  people. 

Heb.  9.  28  So  Christ  was  once  offered  to 
bear  the  sins  of  many  ;  and  unto  them 
that  look  for  him  shall  he  appear  the 
second  time  without  sin  unto  salvation. 

I  Pet.  2.  24  Who  his  own  self  bare  our  sins  in 
his  own  body  on  the  tree,  that  we,  be- 
ing dead  to  sins,  should  live  unto 
righteousness;  by  whose  stripes  ye 
were  healed. 

I  Pet.  3.  18  For  Christ  also  hath  once  suffered 
for  sins,  the  just  for  the  unjust,  that 
he  might  bring  us  to  God,  being  put 
to  death  in  the  flesh,  but  quickened 
by  the  Spirit : 

I  Ino  2.  2  And  he  is  the  propitiation  for  our 
sins  :  and  not  for  ours  only,  but  ^Iso 
for  the  sins  of  the  whole  world. 

I  Jno.  3.  5  And  ye  know  that  he  was  mani- 
fested to  take  away  our  sins ;  and  in 
him  is  no  sin. 

I  Jno.  4.  10  Herein  is  love,  not  that  we  loved 
God,  but  that  he  loved  us,  and  sent 
his  Son  to  be  the  propitiation  for  our 
sins. 

Rev.  1.  5  And  from  Jesus  Christ,  tvho  is  the 
faithful  witness,  and  the  first-begotten 
of  the  dead,  and  the  prince  of  the 
kings  of  the  earth.  Unto  him  that 
loved  us,  and  washed  us  from  our  sins 
in  his  own  blood.

24  And  they  which  were  sent  were

25  And  they  asked  him,  and  said 
unto  him,  Why  baptizest  thou  then,  if 
thou  be  not  that  Christ,  nor  Elias, 
neither  that  Prophet  ? 

26  John  answered  them,  saying,  *1 
baptize  with  water :  ^  but  there  standeth 
one  among  you ,  whom  ye  know  not  ; 

27  "He  it  is,  who  coming  after  me

G 
Mark?.  3  For  the  Pharisees,  and  all  the 
Jews,  except  they  wash  thei?  hands 
oft,  eat  not,  holding  the  tradition  of 
the  elders. 
Eph.  5.  25  Husbands,  love  your  wives,  even 
as  Christ  also  loved  the  church,  and 
gave  himself  for  it ; 

26  That  he  might  sanctify  and 
cleanse  it  with  the  washing  of  water 
by  the  word, 

27  That  he  might  present  it  to  him- 
self a  glorious  church,  not  having 
spot,  or  wrinkle,  or  any  such  thing ; 
but  that  it  should  be  holy  and  without 
blemish. 

Heb.  6.  1  Therefore  leaving  the  principles  of 
the  doctrine  of  Christ,  let  us  go  on 
unto  perfection ;  not  laying  again  the 
foundation  of  repentance  from  dead 
works,  and  of  faith  toward  God, 
2  Of  the  doctrine  of  baptisms,  and  of 
laying  on  of  hands,  and  of  resurrec- 
tion of  the  dead,  and  of  eternal  judg- 
ment. 

Heb.  9.  8  The  Holy  Ghost  this  signifying, 
that  the  way  into  the  holiest  of  all  was 
not  yet  made  manifest,  while  as  the 
first  tabernacle  was  yet  standing : 

9  Which  was  a  figure  for  the  time 
then  present,  in  which  were  offered 
both  gifts  and  sacrifices,  that  could  not 
make  him  that  did  the  service  perfect, 
as  pertaining  to  the  conscience ; 

10  Which  stood  only  in  meats  and 
drinks,  and  divers  washings,  and  car- 
nal ordinances,  imposed  on  them  until 
the  time  of  reformation. 

Heb.  9.  19  For  when  Moses  had  spoken 
every  precept  to  all  the  people  accord- 
ing to  the  law,  he  took  the  blood  of 
calves  and  of  goats,  with  water,  and 
scarlet  wool,  and  hyssop,  and  sprinkled 
both  the  book  and  all  the  people, 

Heb.  10.  22  Let  us  draw  near  with  a  true 
heart  in  full  assurance  of  faith,  hav- 
ing our  hearts  sprinkled  from  an  evil 
conscience,  and  our  bodies  washed 
with  pure  water.

John  4.  46  So  Jesus  came  again  into  Cana  of 
Galilee,  where  he  made  the  water  wine.

glory  to  glory,  even  as  by  the  Spirit 
of  the  Lord. 

nCor.4.  6  For  God,  who  commanded  the

his  disciples,  to  the  marriage. 

3  And  when  they  wanted  wine,  the 
mother  of  Jesus  saith  unto  him.  They 
have  no  wine. 

4  Jesus  saith  unto  her,  ''Woman, 
^what  have  I  to  do  with  thee  ?  ^mine 
hour  is  not  yet  come. 

5  His  mother  saith  unto  the  servants, 
•^Whatsoever  he  saith  unto  you,  do  it. 

6  And  there  were  set  there  six  water- 
pots  of  stone,  s'after  the  manner  of  the 
purifying  of  the  Jews,  containing  two 
or  three  firkins  apiece. 

7  Jesus  saith  unto  them.  Fill  the 
waterpots  with  water.  And  they  filled 
them  up  to  the  brim. 

8  And  he  saith  unto  them.  Draw  out 
now  and  bear  unto  the  governor  of 
the  feast.     And  they  bare  it. 

9  When  the  ruler  of  the  feast  had 
tasted  ^the  water  that  was  made  wine, 
and  knew  not  whence  it  was,  (but  the 
servants  which  drew  the  water  knew,) 
the  governor  of  the  feast  called  the 
bridegroom. 

10  And  saith  unto  him.  Every  man 
at  the  beginning  doth  set  forth  good 
wine  ;  and  when  men  have  well  drunk, 
then  that  which  is  worse :  but  thou 
hast  kept  the  good  wine  until  now.

Jesus  in  Cana  of  Galilee,  ^aad  mani-

I  must  be  about  my  Father's  business  ? 
Acts  19.  24  For  a  certain  man  named  Deme- 
trius, a  silversmith,  which  made  silver 
shrines  for  Diana,  brought  no  small 
gain  unto  the  craftsmen ; 

25  Whom  he  called  together  with  the 
workmen  of  like  occupation,  and  said, 
Sirs,  ye  know  that  by  this  craft  we 
have  our  wealth. 

26  Moreover  ye  see  and  hear,  that 
not  alone  at  Ephesus,  but  almost 
throughout  all  Asia,  this  Paul  hath 
persuaded  and  turned  away  much  peo- 
ple, saying  that  they  be  no  gods, 
which  are  made  with  hands : 

27  So  that  not  only  this  our  craft  is 
in  danger  to  be  set  at  nought ;  but  also 
that  the  temple  of  the  great  goddess 
Diana  should  be  despised,  and  her  mag- 
nificence should  be  destroyed,  whom 
all  Asia  and  the  world  worshippeth. 

I  Tim.e.  9  But  they  that  will  be  rich  fall  into 
temptation  and  a  snare,  and  into  many 
foolish  and  hurtful  lusts,  which  drown 
men  in  destruction  and  perdition. 
10  For  the  love  of  money  is  the  root

can  he  enter  the  second  time  into  his

John  6.  52  The  Jews  therefore  strove  among

My  doctrine  is  not  mine,  but  his  that

ye  have  lifted  up  the  Son  of  man,  then 
shall  ye  know  that  I  am  Ae,  and  that 
I  do  nothing  of  myself;  but  as  my 
Father  hath  taught  me,  I  speak  these

him,  '^How  can  these  things  be?

Ps.  L 


2  But  his  delight  is  in  the  law  of  the 
Lord  ;  and  in  his  law  doth  he  meditate 
day  and  night. 

3  And  he  shall  be  like  a  tree  planted 
by  the  rivers  of  water,  that  bringeth 
forth  his  fruit  in  his  season  ;  his  leaf 
also  shall  not  wither  ;  and  whatsoever 
he  doeth  shall  prosper. 

Isa.  8.  20  To  the  law  and  to  the  testimony  : 
if  they  speak  not  according  to  this 
word,  it  is  because  there  is  no  light  in 
them. 


ICor.i5.  10  But  by  the  grace  of  God  I  am 
what  I  am  :  and  his  grace  which  was 
bestowed  upon  me  was  not  in  vain  ;  but 
I  labored  more  abundantly  than  they 
all:  yet  not  I,  but  the  grace  of  God 
which  was  with  me. 


Chap.  3. 

19  And  this  is  the  condemnation, 
'that  light  is  come  into  the  world,  and 
men  loved  darkness  rather  than  light, 
because  their  deeds  were  evil. 

20  For  «every  one  that  doeth  evil 
hateth  the  light,  neither  cometh  to  the 
light,  lest  his  deeds  should  be  ^reproved. 

21  But  ^he  that  doeth  truth  cometh 
to  the  light,  ythat  his  deeds  may  be 
made  manifest,  that  they  are  wrought 
in  God.

Gen.  33.  19  And  he  bought  a  parcel  of  a  field, 
where  he  had  spread  his  tent,  at  the 
hand  of  the  children  of  Hamor,  She- 
chem's  father,  for  a  hundred  pieces  of 
money. 

Gen.  48.  22  Moreover  I  have  given  to  thee 
one  portion  above  thy  brethren,  which 
I  took  out  of  the  hand  of  the  Amorite 
with  my  sword  and  with  my  bow. 

Josh.  24.  32  And  the  bones  of  Joseph,  which 
the  children  of  Israel  brought  up  out 
of  Egypt,  buried  they  in  Shechem,  in 
a  parcel  of  ground  which  Jacob  bought 
of  the  sons  of  Hamor  the  father  of 
Shechem  for  a  hundred  pieces  of  sil-

the  children  of  Joseph.

men  from  Babylon,  and  from  Cuthah, 
and  from  Ava,  and  from  Hamath,  and 
from  Sepharvaim,  and  placed  thein  in 
the  cities  of  Samaria  instead  of  the 
children  of  Israel ;  and  they  possessed 
Samaria,  and  dwelt  in  the  cities  thereof. 

Ezr.  4.  3  But  Zerubbabel,  and  Jeshua,  and 
the  rest  of  the  chief  of  the  fathers  of 
Israel,  said  unto  them,  Ye  have  noth-

unto  our  God;  but  we  ourselves  to- 
gether will  build  unto  the  Lord  God 
of  Israel,  as  king  Cyrus  the  king  of 
Persia  hath  commanded  us. 

Luke  9.  52  And  sent  messengers  before  his 
face :  and  they  went,  and  entered  into 
a  village  of  the  Samaritans,  to  make 
ready  for  him. 

53  And  they  did  not  receive  him, 
because  his  face  was  as  though  he 
would  go  to  Jerusalem. 

Acts  10.  28  And  he  said  unto  them.  Ye  know 
how  that  it  is  an  unlawful  thing  for  a 
man  that  is  a  Jew  to  keep  company, 
or  come  unto  one  of  another  nation ; 
but  God  hath  showed  me  that  I  should

name  shall  be  called  Wonderful, 
Counsellor,  The  mighty  God,  The  ever- 
lasting Father,  The  Prince  of  Peace. 

Isa.  42.  5  I  the  Lord  have  called  thee  in 
righteousness,  and  will  hold  thine

hart,  and  the  tongue  of  the  dumb

ters break  out,  and  streams  in  the 
desert. 

Isa.  41.  17  WTien  the  poor  and  needy  seek 
water,  and  there  is  none,  and  their 
tongue  faileth  for  thirst,  I  the  Lord 
will  hear  them,  J  the  God  of  Israel 
will  not  forsake  them. 

18  I  will  open  rivers  in  high  places, 
and  fountains  in  the  midst  of  the 
valleys :  I  will  make  the  wilderness  a 
pool  of  water,  and  the  dry  land  springs 
of  water. 

Isa.  44.  3  For  I  will  pour  water  upon  him 
that  is  thirsty,  and  floods  upon  the 
dry  ground :  I  will  pour  my  Spirit 
upon  thy  seed,  and  my  blessing  upon 
thine  offspring : 

Jer.  2.  13  For  my  people  have  committed 
two  evils ;  they  have  forsaken  me  the 
fountain  of  living  waters,  and  hewed 
them  out  cisterns,  broken  cisterns,  that 
can  hold  no  water. 

Zech.l3.  1  In  that  day  there  shall  be  a  foun-

to  the  inhabitants  of  Jerusalem  for 
sin  and  for  uncleanness.

Rev.  22.  1  And  he  showed  me  a  pure  river  of 
water  of  life,  clear  as  crystal,  pro-

2  In  the  midst  of  the  street  of  it,  and 
on  either  side  of  the  river,  was  there 
the  tree  of  life,  which  bare  twelve 
manner  of  fruits,  and  yielded  her  fruit 
every  month :  and  the  leaves  of  the 
tree  were  for  the  healing  of  the  nations. 

3  And  there  shall  be  no  more  curse ;

The  harvest  truly  is  plenteous,  but  the 
labourers  are  few ; 
LukelO.  2  Therefore  said  he  unto  them.  The 
harvest  truly  is  great,  but  the  labourers 
are  few:  pray  ye  therefore  the  Lord 
of  the  harvest,  that  he  would  send 
forth  labourers  into  his  harvest. 


Prov.ll.  30  The  fruit  of  the  righteous  is  a 
tree  of  life ;  and  he  that  winneth 
souls  is  wise. 
31  Behold,  the  righteous  shall  be 
recompensed  in  the  earth :  much 
more  the  wicked  and  the  sinner. 

Dan.  12.  3  And  they  that  be  wise  shall  shine 
as  the  brightness  of  the  firmament; 
and  they  that  turn  many  to  righteous- 
ness, as  the  stars  for  ever  and  ever. 

Rom.  1.  13  Now  I  would  not  have  you  igno- 
rant, brethren,  that  oftentimes  I  pur- 
posed to  come  unto  you,  (but  was  let 
hitherto,)  that  I  might  have  some 
fruit  among  you  also,  even  as  among 
other  Gentiles. 

Rom.  6.  22  But  now  being  made  free  from 
sin,  and  become  servants  to  God,  ye 
have  your  fruit  unto  holiness,  and  the 
end  everlasting  life. 
23  For  the  wages  of  sin  is  death  ;  but 
the  gift  of  God  is  eternal  life  through 
Jesus  Christ  our  Lord. 

I  Cor.  9.  19  For  though  I  be  free  from  all 
men,  yet  have  I  made  myself  servant 
unto  all,  that  I  might  gain  the  more. 

20  And  unto  the  Jews  I  became  as  a 
Jew,  that  I  might  gain  the  Jews  ;  to 
them  that  are  under  the  law,  as  under 
the  law,  that  I  might  gain  them  that 
are  under  the  law  ; 

21  To  them  that  are  without  law,  as 
without  law,  (being  not  without  law 
to  God,  but  under  the  law  to  Christ,) 
that  I  might  gain  them  that  are  with- 
out law. 

22  To  the  weak  became  I  as  weak, 
that  I  might  gain  the  weak :  I  am 
made  all  things  to  all  men,  that  I 
might  by  all  means  save  some. 

23  And  this  I  do  for  the  gospel's 
sake,  that  I  might  be  partaker  thereof 
with  you. 

Phil.  2.  15  That  ye  may  be  blameless  and 
harmless,  the  sons  of  God,  without  re- 
buke, in  the  midst  of  a  crooked  and 
perverse  nation,  among  whom  ye  shine 
as  lights  in  the  world  ;

1  And  'it  came  to  pass,  that,  as  the 
people  pressed  upon  him  to  hear  the 
word  of  God,  he  stood  by  the  lake  of 
Gennesaret, 

2  And  saw  two  ships  standing  by  the 
lake:  but  the  fishermen  were  gone  out 
of  them,  and  were  washing  their  nets. 

3  And  he  entered  into  one  of  the 
ships,  which  was  Simon's,  and  prayed 
him  that  he  would  thrust  out  a  little 
from  the  land.  And  he  sat  down,  and 
taught  the  people  out  of  the  ship. 

4  Now  when  he  had  left  speaking, 
he  said  unto  Simon,  ^Launch  out  into 
the  deep,  and  let  down  your  nets  for  a 
draught. 

5  And  Simon  answering  said  unto 
him,  Master,  %e  have  toiled  all  the 
night,  and  have  taken  nothing : 
"^nevertheless  at  thy  word  I  will  let 
down  the  net. 

6  And  when  they  nad  this  done,  they 
inclosed  a  great  multitude  of  fishes : 
and  their  net  brake. 

7  And  they  beckoned  unto  their  part- 
ners, which  were  in  the  other  ship,  that 
they  should  come  and  help  them.  And 
they  came,  and  filled  both  the  ships, 
so  that  they  began  to  sink. 

8  When  Simon  Peter  saw  it,  he  fell 
down  at  Jesus'  knees,  saying,  ^Depart 
from  me ;  for  I  am  a  sinful  man,  O  Lord. 

9  For  he  was  astonished,  and  all  that 
were  with  him,  at  the  draught  of  the 
fishes  which  they  had  taken  : 

10  And  so  was  also  James,  and  John,

will  surely  come  out  to  me,  and  stand,

1  And  again  ^he  entered  into  Caper- 
naum after  some  days;  and  it  was 
noised  that  he  was  in  the  house. 

2  And  straightway  many  were  gath- 
ered together,  insomuch  that  there 
was  no  room  to  receive  them,  no,  not 
so  much  as  about  the  door :  and  he 
^preached  the  word  unto  them. 

3  And  they  come  unto  him,  bringing 
one  sick  of  the  palsy,  which  was  borne 
of  four. 

4  And  when  they  could  not  come 
nigh  unto  him  for  the  press,  they  un- 
covered the  roof  where  he  was :  and 
when  they  had  broken  it  up,  they  let 
down  the  bed  wherein  the  sick  of  the 
palsy  lay. 

5  When  Jesus  -^saw  their  faith,  he 
said  unto  the  sick  of  the  palsy,  ^Son, 
thy  sins  be  forgiven  thee. 

6  But  there  were  certain  of  the 
scribes  sitting  there,  and  reasoning  in 
their  hearts, 

7  Why  doth  this  man  thus  speak 
blasphemies?  ^who  can  forgive  sins 
but  God  only? 

8  And  immediately,  ^when  Jesus  per- 
ceived in  his  spirit  that  they  so  rea- 
soned within  themselves,  he  said  unto 
them.  Why  reason  ye  these  things  in 
your  hearts?

thou  fearest  God,  seeing  thou  hast  not

17  And  it  came  to  pass  on  a  certain 
day,  as  he  was  teaching,  that  there 
were  Pharisees  and  doctors  of  the  law 
sitting  by,  which  were  come  out  of 
every  town  of  Galilee,  and  Judaea, 
and  Jerusalem :  and  the  power  of  the 
Lord  was  present  to  heal  them. 

18  *And,  behold,  men  brought  in  a 
bed  a  man  which  was  taken  with  a 
palsy :  and  they  sought  means  to  bring 
him  in,  and  to  lay  hwi  before  him. 

19  And  when  they  could  not  find  by 
what  way  they  might  bring  him  in 
because  of  the  multitude,  they  went 
upon  the  housetop,  and  let  him  down 
through  the  tiling  with  his  couch  into 
the  midst  before  Jesus. 

20  And  when  %e  saw  their  faith,  he 
said  unto  him,  Man,  "^thy  sins  are  for- 
given thee. 

21  "And  the  scribes  and  the  Phari- 
sees began  to  reason,  saying.  Who  is 
this  which  speaketh  blasphemies  ? 
*  Who  can  forgive  sins,  but  God  alone  ? 

22  But  when  Jesus  perceived  their

What  reason  ye  in  your  hearts  ?

servants  set  I  at  the  gates,  that  there 
should  no  burden  be  brought  in  on 
the  sabbath  day. 

Jer.  17.  21  Thus  saith  the  Lord  ;  Take  heed

the  sabbath  day,  nor  bring  it  in  by  the 
gates  of  Jerusalem ; 
22  Neither  carry  forth  a  burden  out

your  fathers. 

Matt.l2.  2  But  when  the  Pharisees  saw  it,

Behold,  why  do  they  on  the  sabbath

which  had  a  withered  hand. 

2  And  they  watched  him,  whether 
he  would  heal  him  on  the  sabbath  day; 
that  they  might  accuse  him. 

3  And  he  saith  unto  the  man  which 
had  the  withered  hand,  Stand  forth. 

4  And  he  saith  unto  them,  Is  it 
lawful  to  do  good  on  the  sabbath  days, 
or  to  do  evil  ?  to  save  life,  or  to  kill  ? 
But  they  held  their  peace. 

Luke  6.  2  And  certain  of  the  Pharisees  said 
unto  them.  Why  do  ye  that  which  is 
not  lawful  to  do  on  the  sabbath  days  ? 

Luke  13.  14  And  the  ruler  "of  the  synagogue 
answered  with  indignation,  because 
that  Jesus  had  healed  on  the  sabbath 
day,  and  said  unto  the  people,  There 
are  six  days  in  which  men  ought  to 
work :  in  them  therefore  come  and  be 
healed,  and  not  on  the  sabbath  day. 

John  7.  23  If  a  man  on  the  sabbath  day  re-

1  After  «this  there  was  a  feast  of  the 
Jews  ;  and  Jesus  went  up  to  Jerusalem. 

2  Now  there  is  at  Jerusalem  ^by  the 
sheep  hnarket,  a  ^pool,  which  is  called 
in  the  Hebrew  tongue  ^Bethesda,  hav-' 
ing  five  porches. 

3  In  these  lay  a  great  multitude  of 
impotent  folk,  of  blind,  halt,  withered, 
waiting  for  the  moving  of  the  water. 

4  For  an  angel  went  down  at  a  cer- 
tain season  into  the  pool,  and  troubled 
the  water :  whosoever  then  ^first  after 
the  troubling  of  the  water  stepped  in 
was  made  whole  of  whatsoever  disease 
he  had. 

5  And  a  certain  man  was  there, 
which  had  an  infirmity  thirty  and 
eight  years. 

6  When  Jesus  saw  him  lie,  and  «knew 
that  he  had  been  now  a  long  time  in 
that  case,  he  saith  unto  him,  /Wilt 
thou  be  made  whole  ? 

7  The  impotent  man  answered  him. 
Sir,  I  have  no  man,  when  the  water  is 
troubled,  to  put  me  into  the  pool :  but 
while  I  am  coming,  another  steppeth 
down  before  me. 

8  Jesus  saith  unto  him,  fl'Rise,  takoj 
up  thy  bed,  and  walk. 

9  And  immediately  the  man  waa 
made  whole,  and  took  up  his  bed,  and 
walked  :  and  ^on  the  same  day  was 
the  sabbath. 

10  The  Jews  therefore  said  unto  him 
that  was  cured,  It  is  the  sabbath  day  : 
hi  is  not  lawful  for  thee  to  carry  thy  bed. 

11  He  answered  them.  He  that  made 
me  whole,  the  same  said  unto  me,  Take 
up  thy  bed,  and  walk.

21  For  as  the  Father  raiseth  up  the 
dead,  and  quickeneth  them;  /even  so 
the  Son  quickeneth  whom  he  will. 

22  For  the  Father  judgeth  no  man, 
but  ^hath  committed  all  judgment 
unto  the  Son : 

23  That  all  men  should  ^honour  the 
Son,  even  as  they  honour  the  Father. 
He  that  honoureth  not  the  Son  hon- 
oureth  not  the  Father  which  hath  sent 
him.

'He  that  heareth  my  word,  and  be- 
lieveth  on  him  that  sent  me,  hath 
everlasting  life,  and  shall  not  come

The  hour  is  coming,  and  now  is,  when 
^the  dead  shall  hear  the  voice  of  the 
Son  of  God  :  and  they  that  hear  shall 
live.

himself;  so  hath  he  given  to  the  Son 
to  have  life  in  himself, 

27  And  "^hath  given  him  authority 
to  execute  judgment  also,  **because  he 
is  the  Son  of  man.

is  coming,  in  the  which  all  that  are  in 
the  graves  shall  hear  his  voice,

John  4.  34  Jesus  saith  unto  them,  My  meat 
is  to  do  the  will  of  him  that  sent  me, 
and  to  finish  his  work. 

John  6.    38  For  I  came  down  from  heaven, 
not  to  do  mine  own  will,  but  the  will 
of  him  that  sent  me. 
S 

John  8.  14  Jesus  answered  and  said  unto 
them.  Though  I  bear  record  of  my- 
self, yet  my  record  is  true :  for  I  know 
whence  I  came,  and  whither  I  go  ;  but 
ye  cannot  tell  whence  I  come,  and 
whither  I  go. 

Rev.  3.  14  And  unto  the  angel  of  the  church 
of  the  Laodiceans  write  ;  These  things 
saith  the  Amen,  the  faithful  and  true 
witness,  the  beginning  of  the  creation 
of  God; 

T 

Matt.  3.  17  And  lo  a  voice  from  heaven,  say- 
ing, This  is  my  beloved  Son,  in  whom 
I  am  well  pleased. 

Matt.l7.  5  While  he  yet  spake,  behold,  a 
bright  cloud  overshadowed  them  :  and 
behold  a  voice  out  of  the  cloud,  which 
said,  This  is  my  beloved  Son,  in  whom 
I  am  well  pleased ;  hear  ye  him. 

John  8.  18  1  am  one  that  bear  witness  of  my- 
self, and  the  Father  that  sent  me  bear- 
eth  witness  of  me. 

I  Jno.  5.  6  Xhis  is  he  that  came  by  water  and 
blood,  even  Jesus  Christ :  not  by  water 
only,  but  by  water  and  blood.  And 
it  is  the  Spirit  that  beareth  witness, 
because  the  Spirit  is  truth. 

7  For  there  are  three  that  bear 
record  in  heaven,  the  Father,  the 
Word,  and  the  Holy  Ghost :  and  these 
three  are  one. 

I  Jno.  5.  9  If  we  receive  the  witness  ©f  men, 
the  witness  of  God  is  greater  :  for  this 
is  the  witness  of  God  which  he  hath 
testified  of  his  Son. 
U 

Johnl.  15  John  bare  witness  of  him,  and 
cried,  saying,  This  was  he  of  whom  1 
spake,  I  le  that  cometh  after  me  is  pre- 
ferred before  me ;  for  he  was  before  me. 

Johnl.  19  And  this  is  the  record  of  John, 
when  the  Jews  sent  priests  and  Le- 
vites  from  Jerusalem  to  ask  him.  Who 
art  thou  ? 

John  1.  27  He  it  is,  who  coming  after  me  is 
preferred  before  me,  whose  shoe's 
latchet  I  am  not  worthy  to  unloose. 

John  1.  32  And  John  bare  record,  saying,  I 
saw  the  Spirit  descending  from  heaven 
like  a  dove,  and  it  abode  upon  him. 


II  Pet.l.  19  We  have  also  a  more  sure  word 
of  prophecy ;  whereunto  ye  do  well 
that  ye  take  heed,  as  unto  a  light  iJiat 
shineth  in  a  dark  place,  until  the  day 
dawn,  and  the  daystar  arise  in  your 
hearts : 

Y 

Eze.  33.  31  And  they  come  unto  thee  as  the 
people  cometh,  and  they  sit  before 
thee  as  my  people,  and  they  hear  thy 
words,  but  they  will  not  do  them  :  for 
with  their  mouth  they  show  much 
love,  hut  their  heart  goeth  after  their 
covetousness. 
32  And,  lo,  thou  art  unto  them  as  a 
very  lovely  song  of  one  that  hath  a 
pleasant  voice,  and  can  play  well  on 
an  instrument:  for  they  hear  thy 
words,  but  they  do  them  not. 

Matt.l3.  20  But  he  that  received  the  seed  into 
stony  places,  the  same  is  he  that  hear- 
eth  the  word,  and  anon  with  joy  re- 
ceiveth  it : 

Matt.2l.  26  But  if  we  shall  say.  Of  men ;  we 
fear  the  people ;  for  all  hold  John  as 
a  prophet. 

Mark  6.  20  For  Herod  feared  John,  knowing 
that  he  was  a  just  man  and  a  holy, 
and  observed  him ;  and  when  he  heard 
him,  he  did  many  things,  and  heard 
him  gladly.

that  thou  doest,  except  God  be  with

John  10.  25  Jesus  answered  them,  I  told  you, 
and  ye  believed  not :  the  works  that  I 
do  in  my  Father's  name,  they  bear 
witness  of  me.

your  hand,  that  they  may  be  as  front-

19  And  ye  shall  teach  them  your 
children,  speaking  of  them  when  thou 
sittest  in  thine  house,  and  when  thou 
walkest  by  the  way,  when  thou  liest 
down,  and  when  thou  risest  up. 

20  And  thou  shalt  write  them  upon 
the  door  posts  of  thine  house,  and 
upon  thy  gates : 

21  That  your  days  may  be  multiplied, 
and  the  days  of  your  children,  in  the 
land  which  the  Lord  sware  unto  your 
fathers  to  give  them,  as  the  days  of 
heaven  upon  the  earth.

thou  shalt  make  thy  way  prosperous, 
and  then  thou  shalt  have  good  success.

heart,  that  I  might  not  sin  against  thee.

them.

Lord,  and  read :  no  one  of  these  shall

2  But  when  the  Pharisees  saw  it, 
they  said  unto  him,  Behold,  thy  dis- 
ciples do  that  which  is  not  lawful  to 
do  upon  the  sabbath  day. 

3  But  he  said  unto  them,  Have  ye 
not  read  <^what  David  did,  when  he 
was  a  hungered,  and  they  that  were

neither  for  them  which  were  with  him,

6  Or  have  ye  not  read  in  the  ^law, 
how  that  on  the  sabbath  days  the 
priests  in  the  temple  profane  the  sab- 
bath, and  are  blameless  ? 

6  But  I  Bay  unto  you.  That  in  this 
place  is  ^one  greater  than  the  temple.

hand  ?  give  me  five  loaves  of  bread  in 
mine  hand,  or  what  there  is  present. 

4  And  the  priest  answered  David, 
and  said,  There  is  no  common  bread 
under  mine  hand,  but  there  is  hal- 
lowed bread  ;  if  the  young  men  have 
kept  themselves  at  least  from  women. 

5  And  David  answered  the  priest, 
and  said  unto  him,  Of  a  truth  women 
have  been  kept  from  us  about  these 
three  days,  since  I  came  out,  and 
the  vessels  of  the  young  men  are 
holy,  and  the  bread  is  in  a  manner 
common,  yea,  though  it  were  sanctified 
this  day  in  the  vessel.

destroy  the  law,  or  the  prophets  :  I  am 
not  come  to  destroy,  but  to  fulfil. 

18  For  verily  I  say  unto  you,  '^Till 
heaven  and  earth  pass,  one  jot  or  one 
tittle  shall  in  no  wise  pass  from  the 
law,  till  all  be  fulfilled. 

19  ^Whosoever  therefore  shall  break

shall  teach  men  so,  he  shall  be  called 
the  least  in  the  kingdom  of  heaven: 
but  whosoever  shall  do  and  teach  them, 
the  same  shall  be  called  great  in  the 
kingdom  of  heaven. 

20  For  I  say  unto  you,  That  except 
your  righteousness  shall  exceed  Hhe 
righteousness  of  the  scribes  and  Phari- 
sees, ye  shall  in  no  case  enter  into  the

glory  of  the  Lord  shall  be  thy  rearward. 

9  Then  shalt  thou  call,  and  the  Lord

shall  say,  Here  I  am.  If  thou  take 
away  from  the  midst  of  thee  the  yoke, 
the  putting  forth  of  the  finger,  and 
speaking  vanity ; 

10  And  t/thou  draw  out  thy  soul  to 
the  hungry,  and  satisfy  the  afflicted 
soul ;  then  shall  thy  light  rise  in  ob- 
scurity, and  thy  darkness  be  as  the 
noonday : 

Isa.  60.  1  Arise,  shine ;  for  thy  light  is  come, 
and  the  glory  of  the  Lord  is  risen 
upon  thee. 

2  For,  behold,  the  darkness  shall 
cover  the  earth,  and  gross  darkness 
the  people :  but  the  Lord  shall  arise 
upon  thee,  and  his  glory  shall  be  seen 
upon  thee. 

3  And  the  Gentiles  shall  come  to  ihy 
light,  and  kings  to  the  brightness  of 
thy  rising. 

Roin.13.  11  And  that,  knowing  the  time,  that 
now  it  is  high  time  to  awake  out  of 
sleep :  for  now  is  our  salvation  nearer

12  The  night  is  far  spent,  the  day  is 
at  hand :  let  us  therefore  cast  oft"  the 
works  of  darkness,  and  let  us  put  on 
the  armour  of  light. 

13  Let  us  walk  honestly,  as  in  the 
day  ;  not  in  riotmg  and  drunkenness, 
not  in  chambering  and  wantonness, 
not  in  strife  and  envying : 

14  But  put  ye  on  the  Lord  Jesus 
Christ,  and  make  not  provision  for  the 
flesh,  to  fulfil  the  lusts  thereof. 

Eph.  5.  8  For  ye  were  sometime  darkness,

hast  shut  thy  door,  pray  to  thy  Father 
which  is  in  secret;  and  thy  Father 
which  *seeth  in  secret  shall  reward

heaven,  and  thou  upon  earth :  there- 
fore let  thy  words  be  few. 
3  For  a  dream  cometh  through  the 
multitude  of  business ;  and  a  fool's 
voice  is  known  by  multitude  of  words.

and  many  words  there  are  also  divers 
vanities :  but  fear  thou  God.

9  After  this  manner  therefore  pray 
ye :  2/Our  Father  which  art  in  heaven, 
'Hallowed  be  thy  name. 

10  Thy  kingdom  come.  "Thy  will 
be  done  in  earth,  ^as  it  is  in  heaven. 

11  Give  us  this  day  our  ^daily  bread. 

12  And  ^forgive  us  our  debts,  as  we

but  /deliver  us  from  evil :  ^For  thine 
is  the  kingdom,  and  the  power,  and 
the  glory,  for  ever.     Amen. 

14  ^For  if  ye  forgive  men  their  tres-

forgive  you : 

15  But  *if  ye  forgive  not  men  their 
trespasses,  neither  will  your  Father 
forgive  your  trespasses. 

16  Moreover  *when  ye  fast,  be  not, 
as  the  hypocrites,  of  a  sad  counte- 
nance: for  they  disfigure  their  faces, 
that  they  may  appear  unto  men  to 
fast.  Verily  I  say  unto  you,  They 
have  their  reward. 

17  But  thou,  when  thou  fastest, 
^anoint  thine  head,  and  wash  thy 
face; 

18  That  thou  appear  not  unto  men 
to  fast,  but  unto  thy  Father  which  is 
in  secret :  and  thy  Father  which  seeth 
in  secret  shall  reward  thee  openly.

22  «The  light  of  the  body  is  the  eye  : 
if  therefore  thine  eye  be  single,  thy 
whole  body  shall  be  full  of  light. 

23  But  if  thine  eye  be  evil,  thy 
whole  body  shall  be  full  of  darkness. 
If  therefore  the  light  that  is  in  thee  be 
darkness,  how  great  is  that  darkness  ! 

24  ^No  man  can  serve  two  masters : 
for  either  he  will  hate  the  one,  and

Eccl.  2.  26  For  God  giveth  to  a  man  that  is 
good  in  his  sight,  wisdom,  and  knowl- 
edge, and  joy :  but  to  the  sinner  he 
giveth  travail,  to  gather  and  to  heap 
up,  that  he  may  give  to  him  that  is 
good  before  God.  This  also  is  vanity 
and  vexation  of  spirit. 

Eccl.  5.  10  He  that  loveth  silver  shall  not 
be  satisfied  with  silver;  nor  he  that 
loveth  abundance  with  increase :  this 
is  also  vanity. 

1 1  When  goods  increase,  they  are 
increased  that  eat  them :  and  what 
good  is  there  to  the  owners  thereof, 
saving  the  beholding  of  them  with 
their  eyes  ? 

12  The  sleep  of  a  labouring  man  is 
sweet,  whether  he  eat  little  or  much : 
but  the  abundance  of  the  rich  will  not 
suffer  him  to  sleep. 

13  There  is  a  sore  evil  which  I  have

valleys,  ivhich  run  among  the  hills.

thirst. 

Ps.  147.  9  He  giveth  to  the  beast  his  food, 
and  to  the  young  ravens  which  cry. 

Lukel2.  24  Consider  the  ravens:  for  they 
neither  sow  nor  reap;  which  neither 
have  storehouse  nor  barn ;  and  God 
feedeth  them :  how  much  more  are  ye 
better  than  the  fowls? 

25  And  which  of  you  with  taking 
thought  can  add  to  his  stature  one 
cubit? 

26  If  ye  then  be  not  able  to  do  that 
thing  which  is  least,  why  take  y«

80  Wherefore,  if  God  so  clothe  the 
grass  of  the  field,  which  to  day  is, 
and  to  morrow  is  cast  into  the  oven, 
shall  he  not  much  more  clothe  you,  O 
ye  of  little  faith  ? 

31  Therefore  take  no  thought,  saying. 
What  shall  we  eat?  or,  What  shall 
we  drink?  or,  Wherewithal  shall  we 
be  clothed? 

32  (For  after  all  these  things  do  the 
Gentiles  seek:)  for  your  heavenly 
Father  knoweth  that  ye  have  need  of 
all  these  things. 

33  But  "seek  ye  first  the  kingdom  of 
God,  and  his  righteousness ;  and  all 
these  things  shall  be  added  unto  you. 

34  Take  therefore  no  ^^thought  for

ye  shall  be  judged  ;  ^and  with  what 
measure  ye  mete,  it  shall  be  measured

that  is  in  thy  brother's  eye,  but  con- 
siderest  not  the  beam  that  is  in  thine 
own  eye  ? 

4  Or  how  wilt  thou  say  to  thy 
brother.  Let  me  pull  out  the  mote  out 
of  thine  eye  ;  and,  behold,  a  beam  is 
in  thine  own  eye  ? 

5  Thou  hypocrite,  first  cast  out  the

IlTiin.4.  8  Henceforth  there  is  laid  up  for  me 
a  crown  of  righteousness,  which  the

shalt  not  steal,  Thou  shalt  not  bear 
false  witness.  Thou  shalt  not  covet;

this  saying,  namely.  Thou  shalt  love 
thy  neighbour  as  thyself.

the  Lord  your  God  with  all  your

Jer.  23.  16  Thus  saith  the  Lord  of  hosts. 
Hearken  not  unto  the  words  of  the 
prophets  that  prophesy  unto  you ; 
they  make  you  vain :  they  speak  a 
vision  of  their  own  heart,  and  not  out 
of  the  mouth  of  the  Lord. 

Matt,.24.  4  And  Jesus  answered  and  said  unto 
them,  Take  heed  that  no  man  deceive 
you. 
5  For  many  shall  come  in  my  name, 
saying,  I  am  Christ;  and  shall  de- 
ceive many. 

Matt.24.  11  And  many  false  prophets  shall 
rise,  and  shall  deceive  many. 

Matt.24.  24  For  there  shall  arise  false  Christs, 
and  false  prophets,  and  shall  show 
great  signs  and  wonders;  insomuch 
that,  if  it  were  possible,  they  shall  de- 
ceive the  very  elect. 

Markl3.  22  For  false  Christs  and  false  pro- 
phets shall  rise,  and  shall  show  signs

Rom.16.  17  Now  I  beseech  you,  brethren, 
mark  them  which  cause  divisions  and 
offences  contrary  to  the  doctrine  which

2  And  many  shall  follow  their  per- 
nicious ways;  by  reason  of  whom  the 
way  of  truth  shall  be  evil  spoken  of.

21  Not  every  one  that  saith  unto 
me,  ^Lord,  Lord,  shall  enter  into  the

the  will  of  my  Father  which  is  in 
heaven. 

22  Many  will  say  to  me  in  that  day, 
Lord,  Lord,  have  we  %ot  prophesied 
in  thy  name  ?  and  in  thy  name  have 
cast  out  devils?  and  in  thy  name  done 
many  wonderful  works  ?

6  And  saying,  Lord,  my  servant  lieth 
at  home  sick  of  the  palsy,  grievously 
tormented.

Lord,  ^I  am  not  worthy  that  thou 
shouldest  come  under  my  roof:  but 
^'speak  the  word  only,  and  my  servant

he  entered    into  Capernaum. 

2  And  a  certain  centurion's  servant, 
who  was  dear  unto  him,  was  sick,  and 
ready  to  die. 

3  And  when  he  heard  of  Jesus,  he 
sent  unto  him  the  elders  of  the  Jews, 
beseeching  him  that  he  would  come 
and  heal  his  servant. 

4  And  when  they  came  to  Jesus,  they 
besought  him  instantly,  saying.  That 
he  was  worthy  for  whom  he  should  do 
this : 

5  For  he  loveth  our  nation,  and  he 
hath  built  us  a  synagogue. 

6  Then  Jesus  went  with  them.  And 
when  he  was  now  not  far  from  the 
house,  the  centurion  sent  friends  to 
him,  saying  unto  him,  Lord,  trouble 
not  thyself;  for  I  am  not  worthy  tkat 
thou  shouldest  enter  under  my  roof : 

7  Wherefore  neither  thought  I  my- 
self worthy  to  come  unto  thee  :  but  say

and  to  another,  Come,  and  he  cometh ; 
and  to  my  servant,  Do  this,  and  he 
doeth  it.

mistress  of  the  house,  fell  sick ;  and

was  no  breath  left  in  him.

God  ?  art  thou  come  unto  me  to  call 
my  sin  to  remembrance,  and  to  slay 
my  son?

thy  son.  And  he  took  him  out  of  her 
bosom,  and  carried  him  up  into  a  loft, 
where  he  abode,  and  laid  him  upon 
his  own  bed. 

20  And  he  cried  unto  the  Lord, 
and  said,  O  Lord  my  God,  hast  thou 
also  brought  evil  upon  the  widow 
with  whom  I  sojourn,  by  slaying  her 
son? 

21  And  he  stretched  himself  upon 
the  child  three  times,  and  cried  unto 
the  Lord,  and  said,  O  Lord  my  God, 
I  pray  thee,  let  this  child's  soul  come 
into  him  again. 

22  And  the  Lord  heard  the  voice 
of  Elijah ;  and  the  soul  of  the  child 
came  into  him  again,  and  he  levived.

many  of  their  infirmities  and  plagues,

Chap.  11. 

6  And  blessed  is  he,  whosoever  shall 
not  *be  offended  in  me. 

7  'And  as  they  departed,  Jesus  began 
to  say  unto  the  multitudes  concerning 
John,  What  went  ye  out  into  the  wil- 
derness to  see  ?  "^A  reed  shaken  with 
the  wind  ? 

8  But  what  went  ye  out  for  to  see  ? 
A  man  clothed  in  soft  raiment?  be- 
hold, they  that  wear  soft  clothing  are 
in  kings'  houses. 

9  But  what  went  ye  out  for  to  see  ? 
A  prophet  ?  yea,  I  say  unto  you,  '^and 
more  than  a  prophet. 

10  For  this  is  he,  of  whom  it  is 
written,  ''Behold,  I  send  my  messenger 
before  thy  face,  which  shall  prepare 
thy  way  before  thee. 

11  Verily  I  say  unto  you.  Among 
them  that  are  born  of  women  there 
hath  not  risen  a  greater  than  John  the 
Baptist :  notwithstanding,  he  that  is 
least  in  the  kingdom  of  heaven  is 
greater  than  he. 

12  ^And  from  the  days  of  John  the 
Baptist  until  now  the  kingdom  of 
heaven  ^suffereth  violence,  and  the  vio- 
lent take  it  by  force. 

K 

Isa.  8.  14  And  he  shall  be  for  a  sanctuary ; 
but  for  a  stone  of  stumbling  and  for 
a  rock  of  offence  to  both  the  houses  of 
Israel,  for  a  gin  and  for  a  snare  to  the 
inhabitants  of  Jerusalem. 

15  And  many  among  them  shall 
Btumble,  and  fall,  and  be  broken,  and 
be  snared,  and  be  taken. 

Matt.13.  57  And  they  were  offended  in  him. 
But  Jesus  said  unto  them,  A  prophet 
is  not  without  honor,  save  in  his  own 
country,  and  in  his  own  house. 

Matt.24.  10  And  then  shall  many  be  offended, 
and  shall  betray  one  another,  and 
shall  hate  one  another. 


K — Concluded. 

Matt.26.  31  Then  saith  Jesus  unto  them,  All 
ye  shall  be  offended  because  of  me 
this  night:  for  it  is  written,  I  will 
smite  the  Shepherd,  and  the  sheep  of 
the  flock  shall  be  scattered  abroad. 

Rom.  9.  32  Wherefore?  Because  they  sought 
it  not  by  faith,  but  as  it  were  by  the 
works  of  the  law.  For  they  stumbled 
at  that  stumblingstone ; 

33  As  it  is  written.  Behold,  I  lay  in 
Sion  a  stumblingstone  and  rock  of 
offence:  and  whosoever  believeth  on 
him  shall  not  be  ashamed. 

I  Cor.  1.  23  But  we  preach  Christ  crucitied, 
unto  the  Jews  a  stumblingblock,  and 
unto  the  Greeks  foolishness ; 

I  Cor.  2.  14  But  the  natural  man  receiveth 
not  the  things  of  the  Spirit  of  God : 
for  they  are  foolishness  unto  him: 
neither  can  he  know  them,  because 
they  are  spiritually  discerned. 

Gal.  5.  11  And  I,  brethren,  if  I  yet  preach 
circumcision,  why  do  I  yet  suffer  per- 
secution? then  is  the  offence  of  the 
cross  ceased. 

12  I  would  they  were  even  cut  off 
which  trouble  you. 

I  Pet.  2.  8  And  a  stone  of  stumbling,  and  a 
rock  of  offence,  even  to  them  which

Mark  14.  4  And  there  were  some  that  had  in-

Why  was  this  waste  of  the  ointment 
made?

more  than  three  hundred  pence,  and 
have  been  given  to  the  poor.  And 
they  murmured  against  her. 

6  And  Jesus  said,  Let  her  alone; 
why  trouble  ye  her  ?  she  hath  wrought 
a  good  work  on  me. 

7  For  ye  have  the  poor  with  you 
always,  and  whensoever  ye  will  ye 
may  do  them  good :  but  me  ye  have 
not  always. 

8  She  hath  done  what  she  could: 
she  is  come  aforehand  to  anoint  my 
body  to  the  burying. 

9  Verily  I  say  unto  you,  Whereso- 
ever this  gospel  shall  be  preached 
throughout  the  whole  world,  this  also 
that  she  hath  done  shall  be  spoken  of 
for  a  memorial  of  her. 

John  12.  1  Then  Jesus  six  days  before  the 
passover  came  to  Bethany,  where 
Lazarus  was  which  had  been  dead, 
whom  he  raised  from  the  dead. 

2  There  they  made  him  a  supper; 
and  Martha  served :  but  Lazarus  was 
one  of  them  that  sat  at  the  table  with 
him. 


Matt.26.  6  Now  when  Jesus  was  in  Bethany, 
in  the  house  of  Simon  the  leper, 

7  There  came  unto  him  a  woman 
having  an  alabaster  box  of  very  pre- 
cious ointment,  and  poured  it  on  his 
head,  as  he  sat  at  meat. 

8  But  when  his  disciples  saw  it,  they 
had  indignation,  saying.  To  what  pur- 
pose is  this  waste  ? 

9  For  this  ointment  might  have  been 
sold  for  much,  and  given  to  the  poor. 

10  When  Jesus  understood  it,  he 
said  unto  them,  Why  trouble  ye  the 
woman  ?  for  she  hath  wrought  a  good 
work  upon  me. 

11  For  ye  have  the  poor  always 
with  you ;  but  me  ye  have  not  always. 

12  For  in  that  she  hath  poured  this 
ointment  on  my  body,  she  did  it  for 
my  burial. 

13  Verily  I  say  unto  you.  Whereso-

^  49.     ANOINTING  OF  THE  FEET  OF  JESUS  AT  THE  PHAKISEE'S 


Matt.  18.  28  But  the  same  servant  went  out, 
and  found  one  of  his  fellow  servants, 
which  owed  him  a  hundred  pence : 
and  he  laid  hands  on  him,  and  took 
him  by  the  throat,  saying,  Pay  me 
that  thou  owest. 

D 

Isa.  43.  25  I,  even  I,  am  he  that  blotteth  out 
thy  transgressions  for  mine  own  sake, 
and  will  not  remember  thy  sins. 

Isa.  44.    22  I  have  blotted   out,  as  a  thick 
cloud,  thy  transgressions,  and,  as   a 
cloud,  thy  sins :  return  unto  me ;  for 
I  have  redeemed  thee. 
E 

Gen.  18.  4  Let  a  little  water,  I  pray  you,  be 
fetched,  and  wash  your  feet,  and  rest 
yourselves  under  the  tree : 

I  Tiin.5.  10  Well  reported  of  for  good  works ; 
if  she  have  brought  up  children,  if 
she  have  lodged  strangers,  if  she  have 
washed  the  saints'  feet,  if  she  have 
relieved  the  afflicted,  if  she  have  dili- 
gently followed  every  good  work.

ICor.16.  20  All  the  brethren  greet  you. 
Greet  ye  one  another  with  a  holy 
kiss.

Ps.  23,  5  Thou  preparest  a  table  before  me 
in  the  presence  of  mine  enemies :  thou 
anointest  my  head  with  oil ;  my  cup 
runneth  over. 

Ecol.  9.    8  Let  thy  garments  be  always  white ; 
and  let  thy  head  lack  no  ointment. 
H 

Ex.  34.  6  And  the  Lord  passed  by  before 
him,  and  proclaimed,  The  Lord,  The 
Lord  God,  merciful  and  gracious, 
long-suffering,  and  abundant  in  good- 
ness and  truth, 

7  Keeping  mercy  for  thousands,  for- 
giving iniquity  and  transgression  and 
sin,  and  that  will  by  no  means  clear 
the  guilty  ;  visiting  the  iniquity  of  the 
fathers  upon  the  children,  and  upon 
the  children's  children,  unto  the  third 
and  to  the  fourth  generation. 

Isa.  1.  16  Wash  ye,  make  you  clean;  put 
away  the  evil  of  your  doings  from 
before  mine  eyes ;  cease  to  do  evil ; 

17  Learn  to  do  well ;  seek  judgment, 
relieve  the  oppressed,  judge  the  fa- 
therless, plead  for  the  widow. 

18  Come  now,  and  let  us  reason  to- 
gether, saith  the  Lord  :  though  your 
sins  be  as  scarlet,  they  shall  be  as 
white  as  snow;  though  they  be  red 
like  crimson,  they  shall  be  as  wool.

Isa.  1.  19  If  ye  be  willing  and  obedient,  ye 
shall  eat  the  good  of  the  land : 

20  But  if  ye  refuse  and  rebel,  ye 
shall  be  devoured  with  the  sword  :  for 
the  mouth  of  the  Lord  hath  spoken  it. 

Isa.  56.  6  Seek  ye  the  Lord  while  he  may 
be  found,  call  ye  upon  him  while  he 
is  near : 

7  Let  the  wicked  forsake  his  way, 
and  the  unrighteous  man  his  thoughts : 
and  let  him  return  unto  the  Lord,  and 
he  will  have  mercy  upon  him ;  and  to 
our  God,  for  he  will  abundantly 
pardon. 

Eze.  16.  62  And  I  will  establish  my  covenant 
with  thee  ;  and  thou  shalt  know  that 
I  am  the  Lord  : 

63  That  thou  mayest  remember,  and 
be  confounded,  and  never  open  thy 
mouth  any  more  because  of  thy  shame, 
when  I  am  pacified  toward  thee  for  all 
that  thou  hast  done,  saith  the  Lord  God. 

Eze.  36.  29  I  will  also  save  you  from  all 
your  uncleannesses :  and  I  will  call 
for  the  corn,  and  will  increase  it,  and 
lay  no  famine  upon  you. 

30  And  I  will  multiply  the  fruit  of 
the  tree,  and  the  increase  of  the  field, 
that  ye  shall  receive  no  more  reproach 
of  famine  among  the  heathen. 

31  Then  shall  ye  remember  your 
own  evil  ways,  and  your  doings  that 
were  not  good,  and  shall  loathe  your- 
selves in  your  own  sight  for  your 
iniquities  and  for  your  abominations. 

32  Not  for  your  sakes  do  I  thiSf 
saith  the  Lord  God,  be  it  known  unto 
you :  be  ashamed  and  confounded  foF 
your  own  ways,  O  house  of  Israel. 

Mic.  7.  18  Who  is  a  God  like  unto  thee,  that 
pardoneth  iniquity,  and  passeth  by 
the  transgression  of  the  remnant  of 
his  heritage?  he  retaineth  not  his 
anger  for  ever,  because  he  delighteth 
in  mercy. 

19  He  will  turn  again,  he  will  have 
compassion  upon  us ;  he  will  subdue 
our  iniquities ;  and  thou  wilt  cast  all 
their  sins  into  the  depths  of  the  sea. 

Acts  5.  31  Him  hath  God  exalted  with  his 
right  hand  to  be  a  Prince  and  a  Sav- 
iour, for  to  give  repentance  to  Israel, 
and  forgiveness  of  sins. 

I  Cor.  6.  9  Know  ye  not  that  the  unrighteous 
shall  not  inherit  the  kingdom  of  God  ? 
Be  not  deceived  :  neither  fornicators, 
nor  idolaters,  nor  adulterers,  nor  ef- 
feminate, nor  abusers  of  themselves 
with  mankind,

40  And  Jesus  answering  said  unto 
him,  Simon,  I  have  somewhat  to  say 
unto  thee.  And  he  saith,  Master, 
say  on. 

41  There  was  a  certain  creditor  which 
had  two  debtors:  the  one  owed  five 
hundred  <^pence,  and  the  other  fifty. 

42  And  when  they  had  nothing  to 
pay,  he  frankly  <^forgave  them  both. 
Tell  me  therefore,  which  of  them  will 
love  him  most  ? 

43  Simon  answered  and  said,  I  sup- 
pose that  hey  to  whom  he  forgave 
most.  And  he  said  unto  him,  Thou 
hast  rightly  judged. 

44  And  he  turned  to  the  woman,  and 
said  unto  Simon,  Seest  thou  this 
woman  ?  I  entered  into  thine  house, 
thou  gavest  me  no  «water  for  my  feet : 
but  she  hath  washed  my  feet  with 
tears,  and  wiped  them  with  the  hairs 
of  her  head. 

45  Thou  gavest  me  no  /kiss:  but 
this  woman,  since  the  time  I  came  in, 
hath  not  ceased  to  kiss  my  feet. 

46  ^My  head  with  oil  thou  didst  not 
anoint :  but  this  woman  hath  anointed 
my  feet  with  ointment. 

47  ^Wherefore  I  say  unto  thee.  Her 
sins,  which  are  many,  are  forgiven ; 
for  *she  loved  much :  but  to  whom 
little  is  forgiven,  the  same  loveth  little. 

48  And  he  said  unto  her,  *Thy  sins 
are  forgiven. 

49  ^And  they  that  sat  at  meat  with 
him  began  to  say  within  themselves, 
"Who  is  this  that  forgiveth  sins  also  ? 

50  And  he  said  to  the  woman,  »"Thy 
faith  hath  saved  thee  ;  go  in  peace.

31  Wherefore  ye  be  witnesses  unto

52  Which  of  the  prophets  have  not 
your  fathers  persecuted?  and  they 
have  slain  them  which  showed  before 
of  the  coming  of  the  Just  One ;  of

not  kept  it. 

IThes.2.  14  For  ye,  brethren,  became  follow-

and  their  own  prophets,  and  have  per-

and  are  contrary  to  all  men  : 

16  Forbidding  us  to  speak  to  the 
Gentiles  that  they  might  be  saved,  to

Why  transgress  ye  the  commandments

Matt.22.  15  Then  went  the  Pharisees,  and 
took  counsel  how  they  might  entangle

disciples  with  the  Herodians,  saying, 
Master,  we  know  that  thou  art  true, 
and  teachest  the  way  of  God  in  truth, 
neither  carest  thou  for  any  man: 
for  thou  regardest  not  the  person  of 
men.

thou  ?  Is  it  lawful  to  give  tribute  unto 
Csesar,  or  not  ?

Matt.16.  12  Then  understood  they  how  that 
he  bade  them  not  beware  of  the  leaven

Pharisees  and  of  the  Sadducees. 

I  Cor.  6.  7  Purge  out  therefore  the  old  leaven, 
that  ye  may  be  a  new  lump,  as  ye 
are  unleavened.  For  even  Christ  our 
passover  is  sacrificed  for  us : 

8  Therefore  let  us  keep  the  feast,

Eccl.  12.  14  For  God  shall  bring  every  work

Matt.lO.  26  Fear  them  not  therefore:  for 
there  is  nothing  covered,  that  shall 
not  be  revealed;  and  hid,  that  shall 
not  be  known. 

27  What  I  tell  you  in  darkness,  that 
speak  ye  in  light :  and  what  ye  hear 
in  the  ear,  that  preach  ye  upon  the 
housetops. 

28  And  fear  not  them  which  kill  the 
body,  but  are  not  able  to  kill  the  soul : 
but  rather  fear  him  which  is  able  to 
destroy  both  soul  and  body  in  hell.

things  which  were  written  in  the 
books,  according  to  their  works. 

13  And  the  sea  gave  up  the  dead

temptation  and  a  snare,  and  into  many 
foolish  and  hurtful  lusts,  which  drown

Matt.  6.  25  Therefore  I  say  unto  you.  Take 
no  thought  for  your  life,  what  ye 
shall  eat,  or  what  ye  shall  drink  ;  nor 
yet  for  your  body,  what  ye  shall  put 
on.  Is  not  the  life  more  than  meat, 
and  the  body  than  raiment  ? 

26  Behold  the  fowls  of  the  air :  for 
they  sow  not,  neither  do  they  reap, 
nor  gather  into  bams;  yet  your 
heavenly  Father  feedeth  them.  Are 
ye  not  much  better  than  they  ?

can  add  one  cubit  unto  his  stature  ?

29  And  yet  I  say  unto  you.  That 
even  Solomon  in  all  his  glory  was  not 
arrayed  like  one  of  these. 

30  Wherefore,  if  God  so  clothe  the 
grass  of  the  field,  which  to  day  is,  and 
to  morrow  is  cast  into  the  oven,  shall 
he  not  much  more  clothe  you,  O  ye  of 
little  faith  ? 

31  Therefore  take  no  thought,  say- 
ing, What  shall  we  eat  ?  or.  What 
shall  we  drink?  or,  Wherewithal 
shall  we  be  clothed  ? 

32  ( For  after  all  these  things  do  the 
Gentiles  seek:)  for  your  heavenly 
Father  knoweth  that  ye  have  need 
of  all  these  things. 

33  But  seek  ye  first  the  kingdom  of 
God,  and  his  righteousness;  and  all 
these  things  shall  be  added  unto  you.

eat,  or  what  ye  shall  drink,  Neither 
be  ye  of  doubtful  mind.

Matt.25.  1  Then  shall  the  kingdom  of  heaven 
be  likened  unto  ten  virgins,  which 
took  their  lamps,   and  went  forth  to 
meet  the  bridegroom. 

2  And  five  of  them  were  wise,  and 
five  ivere  foolish. 

3  They  that  were  foolish  took  their 
lamps,  and  took  no  oil  with  them : 

4  But  the  wise  took  oil  in  their  ves- 
sels with  their  lamps. 

5  While  the  bridegroom  tarried, 
they  all  slumbered  and  slept. 

6  And  at  midnight  there  was  a  cry 
made,  Behold,  the  bridegroom  cometh  ; 
go  ye  out  to  meet  him. 

7  Then  all  those  virgins  arose,  and 
trimmed  their  lamps. 

8  And  the  foolish  said  unto  the  wise. 
Give  us  of  your  oil ;  for  our  lamps 
are  gone  out. 

9  But  the  wise  answered  saying. 
Not  so ;  lest  there  be  not  enough  for 
us  and  you :  but  go  ye  rather  to  them 
that  sell,  and  buy  for  yourselves. 

10  And  while  they  went  to  buy,  the 
bridegroom  came ;  and  they  that  were 
ready  went  in  with  him  to  the  mar- 
riage :  and  the  door  was  shut. 

11  Afterward  came  also  the  other 
virgins,  saying.  Lord,  Lord,  open  to  us. 

12  But  he  answered  and  said.  Verily 
I  say  unto  you,  I  know  you  not. 

13  Watch  therefore;  for  ye  know

they  with  feigned  words  make  mer- 
chandise of  you:  whose  judgment 
now  of  a  long  time  lingereth  not,  and 
their  damnation  slumbereth  not. 

4  For  if  God  spared  not  the  angels 
that  sinned,  but  cast  them  down  to

Jer.  20.  1  Now  Pashur  the  son  of  Immer  the 
priest,  who  was  also  chief  governor  in 
the  house  of  the  Lord,  heard  that 
Jeremiah  prophesied  these  things. 

2  Then  Pashur  smote  Jeremiah  the 
prophet,  and  put  him  in  the  stocks 
that  were  in  the  high  gate  of  Benja-

Eze.  34.  3  Ye  eat  the  fat,  and  ye  clothe  you

fed :  but  ye  feed  not  the  flock. 
4  The  diseased  have  ye  not  strength- 
ened, neither  have  ye  healed  that 
which  was  sick,  neither  have  ye  bound 
up  that  which  ivas  broken,  neither  have 
ye  brought  again  that  which  was 
driven  away,  neither  have  ye  sought 
that  which  was  lost;  but  with  force 
and  with  cruelty  have  ye  ruled  them. 

IlCor.li,  20  For  ye  suffer,  if  a  man  bring  you 
into  bondage,  if  a  man  devour  you,  if 
a  man  take  of  you,  if  a  man  exalt 
himself,  if  a  man  smite  you  on  the 
face. 

Ill  Jno.  9  I  wrote  unto  the  church :  but  Di- 
otrephes,  who  loveth  to  have  the  pre- 
eminence among  them,  receiveth  us 
not. 

10  Wherefore,  if  I  come,  I  will  re- 
member his  deeds  which  he  doeth, 
prating  against  us  with  malicious 
words :  and  not  content  therewith, 
neither  doth  he  himself  receive  the 
brethren,  and  forbiddeth  them  that 
would,  and  casteth  them  out  of  the 
church.

Isa.  56.  11  Yea,  they  are  greedy  dogs  which 
can  never  have  enough,  and  they  are 
shepherds  that  cannot  understand: 
they  all  look  to  their  own  way,  every 
one  for  his  gain,  from  his  quarter. 
12  Come  ye,  say  they,  I  will  fetch 
wine,  and  we  will  fill  ourselves  with 
strong  drink ;  and  to  morrow  shall  be 
as  this  day,  and  much  more  abundant. 

Eze.  34.  8  ^s  I  live,  saith  the  Lord  God, 
surely  because  my  flock  became  a  prey, 
and  my  flock  became  meat  to  every 
beast  of  the  field,  because  there  was  no 
shepherd,  neither  did  my  shephei-ds 
search  for  my  flock,  but  the  shepherds 
fed  themselves,  and  fed  not  my  flock ; 

Rom.16.  18  For  they  that  are  such  serve  not 
our  Lord  Jesus  Christ,  but  their  own 
belly ;  and  by  good  words  and  fair 
speeches  deceive  the  hearts  of  the

that  faithful  and  wise  steward,  whom 
his  lord  shall  make  ruler  over  his 
household,  to  give  them  their  portion 
of  meat  in  due  season  ?

47  And  ?that  servant,  which  knew 
his  lord's  will,  and  prepared  not  him- 
self, neither  did  according  to  his  will, 
shall  be  beaten  with  many  stripes.

commit  things  worthy  of  stripes,  shall 
be  beaten  with  few  stripes.  For  unto

Mic.  7.  6  For  the  son  dishonoureth  the 
father,  the  daughter  riseth  up  against 
her  mother,  the  daughter  in  law 
against  her  mother  in  law ;  a  man's 
enemies  are  the  men  of  his  own  house. 

John  7.  43  So  there  was  a  division  among 
the  people  because  of  him. 

John  9.  16  Therefore  said  some  of  the  Phari- 
sees, This  man  is  not  of  God,  because 
he  keepeth  not  the  sabbath  day. 
Others  said,  How  can  a  man  that  is  a 
sinner  do  such  miracles?  And  there 
was  a  division  among  them.

I  Cor.  1.  21  For  after  that  in  the  wisdom  of 
God  the  world  by  wisdom  knew  not 
God,  it  pleased  God  by  the  foolish- 
ness of  preaching  to  save  them  that 
believe. 

22  For  the  Jews  require  a  sign,  and 
the  Greeks  seek  after  wisdom  :

unto  the  Jews  a  stumblingblock,  and 
unto  the  Greeks  foolishness ;

both  Jews  and  Greeks,  Christ  the 
power  of  God,  and  the  wisdom  of  God.

how  that  not  many  wise  men  after  the 
flesh,  not  many  mighty,  not  many  no- 
ble are  called  : 

27  But  God  hath  chosen  the  foolish 
things  of  the  world  to  confound  the 
wise ;  and  God  hath  chosen  the  weak 
things  of  the  world  to  confound  the 
things  which  are  mighty ;

even  thou,  at  least  in  this  thy  day, 
the  things  which  belong  unto  thy  peace  I 
but  now  they  are  hid  from  thine  eyes.

thee,  that  thine  enemies  shall  cast  a

3  And  now,  O  inhabitants  of  Jeru-

pray  you,  betwixt  me  and  my  vine- 
yard. 

4  What  could  have  been  done  more 
to  my  vineyard,  that  I  have  not  done 
in  it  ?  wherefore,  when  I  looked  that 
it  should  bring  forth  grapes,  brought 
it  forth  wild  grapes  ? 

5  And  now  go  to ;  I  will  tell  you 
what  I  will  do  to  my  vineyard :  I  will 
take  away  the  hedge  thereof,  and  it 
shall  be  eaten  up;  and  break  down 
the  wall  thereof,  and  it  shall  be 
trodden  down: 

6  And  I  will  lay  it  waste :  it  shall 
not  be  pruned,  nor  digged ;  but  there 
shall  come  up  briars  and  thorns:  I 
will  also  command  the  clouds  that 
they  rain  no  rain  upon  it. 

7  For  the  vineyard  of  the  Lord  of

said  unto  it.  Let  no  fruit  grow  on  thee 
henceforward  for  ever.  And  presently 
the  fig  tree  withered  away. 


Rom.  2.  4  Or  despisest  thou  the  riches  of  his 
goodness  and  forbearance  and  long- 
sufiering ;  not  knowing  that  the  good- 
ness of  God  leadeth  thee  to  repent- 
ance? 

5  But,  after  thy  hardness  and  im- 
penitent heart,  treasurest  up  unto  thy- 
self wrath  against  the  day  of  wrath 
and  revelation  of  the  righteous  judg- 
ment of  God ; 

II  Pet.  3.  9  The  Lord  is  not  slack  concerning 
his  promise,  as  some  men  count  slack- 
ness ;  but  is  long-suflTering  to  us-ward, 
not  willing  that  any  should  perish, 
but  that  all  should  come  to  repent- 
ance. 

10  But  the  day  of  the  Lord  will 
come  as  a  thief  in  the  night ;  in  the 
which  the  heavens  shall  pass  away 
with  a  great  noise,  and  the  elements 
shall  melt  with  fervent  heat,  the 
earth  also  and  the  works  that  are 
therein  shall  be  burned  up.

BAKREN  FIG  TREE.    Time,  Autumn,  A.  D. 
13  ;  1-9. 

1  There  were  present  at  that  season 
some  that  told  hira  of  '^the  Galileans, 
whose  blood  Pilate  had  mingled  with 
their  sacrifices. 

2  And  Jesus  answering  said  unto 
them,  Suppose  ^ye  that  these  Galileans 
were  sinners  above  all  the  Galileans, 
because  they  suffered  such  things  ? 

3  I  tell  you,  Nay  :  but,  except  ''ye 
repent,  ye  shall  all  likewise  perish. 

4  Or  those  eighteen,  upon  whom  the 
tower  in  Siloam  fell,  and  slew  them, 
think  ye  that  they  were  ^sinners  above 
all  men  that  dwelt  in  Jerusalem  ? 

5  I  tell  you,  Nay :  but,  except  ye 
repent,  ye  shall  all  likewise  perish. 

6  He  spake  also  this  parable ;  ^A 
certain  man  had  a  fig  tree  planted  in 
his  vineyard  ;  and  he  came  and  sought 
fruit  thereon,  and  found  none. 

7  Then  said  he  unto  the  dresser  of 
his  vineyard.  Behold,  these  ^three 
years  I  come  seeking  fruit  on  this  fig 
tree,  and  find  none  :  cut  it  down  ;  why 
cumbereth  it  the  ground  ? 

8  And  he  answering  said  unto  him, 
Lord,  let /it  alone  this  year  also,  till  I 
shall  dig  about  it,  and  dung  it : 

9  And  if  it  bear  fruit,  well:  and  if 
not,  then  after  that  thou  shalt  cut  it 

down.  (p.  367.)

thy  wrath  wax  hot  against  thy  people, 
which  thou  hast  brought  forth  out  of 
the  land  of  Egypt  with  great  power, 
and  with  a  mighty  hand  ? 

12  Wherefore  should  the  Egyptians 
speak,  and  say,  For  mischief  did  he 
bring  them  out,  to  slay  them  in  the 
mountains,  and  to  consume  them  from 
the  face  of  the  earth  ?  Turn  from  thy

F — Concluded, 
fierce  wrath,  and  repent  of  this  evil 
against  thy  people. 

13  Remember  Abraham,  Isaac,  and 
Israel,  thy  servants,  to  whom  thou 
swarest  by  thine  own  self,  and  saidst 
unto  them,  I  will  multiply  your  seed 
as  the  stars  of  heaven,  and  all  this 
land  that  I  have  spoken  of  will  I  give 
unto  your  seed,  and  they  shall  inherit 
it  for  ever. 

14  And  the  Lord  repented  of  the  evil 
which  he  thought  t«  do  unto  his  people. 

30  And  it  came  te  pass  on  the  mor- 
row, that  Moses  said  unto  the  people. 
Ye  have  sinned  a  great  sin  :  and  now 
I  will  go  up  unto  the  Lord  ;  perad- 
venture  I  shall  make  an  atonement 
for  your  sin. 

31  And  Moses  returned  unto  the 
Lord,  and  said,  Oh,  this  people  have 
sinned  a  great  sin,  and  have  made 
them  gods  of  gold. 

32  Yet  now,  if  thou  wilt  forgive 
their  sin — ;  and  if  not,  blot  me,  I  pray 
thee,  out  of  thy  book  which  thou  hast 
written. 

33  And  the  Lord  said  unto  Moses, 
Whosoever  hath  sinned  against  me, 
him  will  I  blot  out  of  my  book. 

34  Therefore  now  go,  lead  the  people 
unto  the  place  of  which  I  have  spoken 
unto  thee :  behold,  mine  Angel  shall 
go  before  thee:  nevertheless,  in  the 
day  when  I  visit,  I  will  visit  their  sin 
upon  them. 

35  And  the  Lord  plagued  the  peo- 
ple, because  they  made  the  calf  which 
Aaron  made. 

34.  8  And  Moses  made  haste,  and  bowed 
his  head  toward  the  earth,  and  wor- 
shipped. 

9  And  he  said,  If  now  I  ha^e  found 
grace  in  thy  sight,  O  Lord,  let  my 
Lord,  I  pray  thee,  go  among  us ;  for 
it  is  a  stiffnecked  people :  and  pardon 
our  iniquity  and  our  sin,  and  take  us 
for  thine  inheritance. 

17  Let  the  priests,  the  ministers  of 
the  Lord,  weep  between  the  porch 
and  the  altar,  and  let  them  say,  Spare 
thy  people,  O  Lord,  and  give  not 
thine  heritage  to  reproach,  that  the 
heathen  should  rule  over  them  :  where- 
fore should  they  say  among  the  peo- 
ple, Where  is  their  God  ?

parable ; 

5  A  sower  went  out  to  sow  his  seed  :

the  sower. 

19  When  any  one  heareth  the  word 
^'of  the  kingdom,  and  understandeth  it 
not,  then  cometh  '^the  wicked  one,  and 
ca  tcheth  away  that  which  was  sown  in 
h"ts  heart.  This  is  he  which  received 
seed  by  the  way  side. 

20  But  he  that  received  the  seed  into 
stony  places,  the  same  is  he  that  hear- 
eth the  word,  and  anon  «with  joy  re- 
ceiveth  it ; 

21  Yet  hath  he  not  root  in  himself, 
but  dureth  for  a  while:  for  when 
tribulation  or  persecution  ariseth  be- 
cause of  the  word,  by  and  by  /he  is 
offended. 

22  He  also  that  received  seed  ^among 
the  thorns  is  he  that  heareth  the  word  ; 
and  the  ^care  of  this  world,  and  the 
deceitfulness  of  riches,  choke  the  word, 
and  he  becometh  unfruitful. 

23  But  he  that  received  seed  into  the 
good  ground  is  he  that  heareth  the 
word,  and  understandeth  it;  which 
also  beareth  fruit,  and  bringeth  forth,

Chap.  4. 

14  *The  sower  soweth  the  word. 

15  And  these  are  they  by  the  way 
side,  where  the  word  is  sown ;  but 
when  they  have  heard,  Satan  cometh 
immediately,  and  taketh  away  the 
word  that  was  sown  in  their  hearts. 

16  And  these  are  they  likewise  which 
are  sown  on  stony  ground ;  who,  when 
they  have  heard  the  word,  immediately 
receive  it  with  gladness ; 

17  And  have  no  root  in  themselves, 
and  so  endure  but  for  a  time :  after- 
ward, when  affliction  or  persecution 
ariseth  for  the  word's  sake,  immedi 
ately  they  are  offended. 

18  And  these  are  they  which  are 
sown  among  thorns ;  such  as  hear  the 
word, 

19  And  the  cares  of  this  world,  %nd 
the  deceitfulness  of  riches,  and  the 
lusts  of  other  things  entering  in,  choke 
the  word,  and  it  becometh  unfruitful. 

20  And  these  are  they  which  are 
sown  on  good  ground ;  such  as  hear 
the  word,  and  receive  it,  and  bring 
forth  fruit,  some  thirty  fold,  some  sixty  >

light to  know  my  ways,  as  a  nation 
that  did  righteousness,  and  forsook 
not  the  ordinance  of  their  God :  they 
ask  of  me  the  ordinances  of  justice ; 
they  take  delight  in  approaching  to 
God.

with  their  mouth  they  show  much 
love,  but  their  heart  goeth  after  their 
covetousness.

Gen.  3.  13  And  the  Lord  God  said  unto  the 
woman,  What  is  this  that  thou  hast 
done  ?  And  the  woman  said,  The  ser- 
pent beguiled  me,  and  I  did  eat. 

14  And  the  Lord  God  said  unto  the 
serpent,  Because  thou  hast  done  this, 
thou  art  cursed  above  all  cattle,  and 
above  every  beast  of  the  field  ;  upon 
thy  belly  shalt  thou  go,  and  dust  shalt 
thou  eat  all  the  days  of  thy  life : 

15  And  I  will  put  enmity  between 
thee  and  the  woman,  and  between  thy 
seed  and  her  seed  ;  it  shall  bruise  thy 
head,  and  thou  shalt  bruise  his  heel. 

John  8.  44  Ye  are  of  your  father  the  devil,

ginning, and  abode  not  in  the  truth, 
because  there  is  no  truth  in  him. 
When  he  speaketh  a  lie,  he  speaketh 
of  his  own :  for  he  is  a  liar,  and  the 
father  of  it. 

Acts  13.  10  And  said,  O  full  of  all  subtilty

raised  in  glory :  it  is  sown  in  weakness, 
it  is  raised  in  power : 

ICor.l5.  58  Therefore,  my  beloved  brethren, 
be  ye  steadfast,  unmovable,  always

the  throne,  and  before  the  Lamb, 
clothed  with  white  robes,  and  palms 
in  their  hands ; 

Rev.  21.  3  And  I  heard  a  great  voice  out  of 
heaven  saying.  Behold,  the  tabernacle 
of  God  is  with  men,  and  he  will  dwell 
with  them,  and  they  shall  be  his  peo- 
ple, and  God  himself  shall  be  with 
them,  and  be  their  God. 

4  And  God  shall  wipe  away  all  tears 
from  their  eyes ;  and  there  shall  be  no 
more  death,  neither  sorrow,  nor  cry- 
ing, neither  shall  there  be  any  more 
pain :  for  the  former  things  are  passed 
away. 

5  And  he  that  sat  upon  the  throne 
said.  Behold,  I  make  all  things  new. 
And  he  said  unto  me.  Write :  for  these 
words  are  true  and  faithful. 

Rev.  21.  22  And  I  saw  no  temple  therein :  for 
the  Lord  God  Almighty  and  the  Lamb 
are  the  temple  of  it. 

23  And  the  city  had  no  need  of  the 
sun,  neither  of  the  moon,  to  shine  in 
it :  for  the  glory  of  God  did  lighten  it, 
and  the  Lamb  is  the  light  thereof.

57  ^And  it  came  to  pass,  that,  as 
they  went  in  the  way,  a  certain  man 
said  unto  him,  Lord,  I  will  follow  thee 
whithersoever  thou  goest. 

58  ^And  Jesus  said  unto  him,  Foxes 
have  holes,  and  birds  of  the  air  have 
nests;  but  the  Son  of  man  hath  not 
where  to  lay  his  head. 

59  *And  he  said  unto  another.  Fol- 
low me.  But  he  said,  Lord,  suffer  me 
first  to  go  and  bury  my  father. 

60  Jesus  said  unto  him,  Let  the  dead 
bury  their  dead :  but  go  thou  and 
preach  the  kingdom  of  God. 

61  And  another  also  said.  Lord,  *I 
will  follow  thee ;  but  let  me  first  go 
bid  them  farewell,  which  are  at  home 
at  my  house. 

62  And  Jesus  said  unto  him,  ^No 
man,  having  put  his  hand  to  the 
plough,  and  looking  back,  is  fit  for 
the  kingdom  of  God.  (p.  305.)

8  And  might  not  be  as  their  fathers, 
a  stubborn  and  rebelUous  generation ; 
a  generation  that  set  not  their  heart 
aright,  and  whose  spirit  was  not  stead- 
fast with  God.

IlPet.2.  20  For  ifafterthey  have  escaped  the 
pollutions  of  the  world  through  the 
knowledge  of  the  Lord  and  Saviour 
Jesus  Christ,  they  are  again  entangled 
therein,  and  overcome,  the  latter  end 
is  worse  with  them  than  the  beginning, 

Heb.  6.  4  For  it  is  impossible  for  ihose  who 
were  once  enlightened,  and  have 
tasted  of  the  lieavenly  gift,  and  were 
made  partakers  of  the  Holy  Ghost, 

5  And  have  tasted  the  good  word  of 
God,  and  the  powers  of  the  world  to 
come, 

6  If  they  shall  fall  away,  to  renew 
them  again  unto  repentance;  seeing 
they  crucify  to  themselves  the  Son  of 
God  afresh,  and  put  him  to  an  open 
shame. 

7  For  the  earth  which  drinketh  in 
the  rain  that  cometh  oft  upon  it,  and 
bringeth  forth  herbs  meet  for  them  by 
whom  it  is  dressed,  receiveth  blessing 
from  God : 

8  But  that  which  beareth  thorns  and 
briers  is  rejected,  and  is  nigh  unto 
cursing ;  whose  end  is  to  be  burned. 

9  But,  beloved,  we  are  persuaded 
better  things  of  you,  and  things  that 
accompany  salvation,  though  we  thu6

friends,  and  tell  them  how  great  things

the  Spirit  of  your  Father  which  speak- 
eth  in  you. 

21  'And  the  brother  shall  deliver  up 
the  brother  to  death,  and  the  father 
the  child :  and  the  children  shall  rise 
up  against  their  parents,  and  cause 
them  to  be  put  to  death. 

22  And  *ye  shall  be  hated  of  all  7nen 
for  my  name's  sake :  %ut  he  that  en- 
dureth  to  the  end  shall  be  saved. 

23  But  ^when  they  persecute  you  in 
this  city,  flee  ye  into  another:  for 
verily  I  say  unto  you,  Ye  shall  not 
have  gone  over  the  cities  of  Israel, 
*till  the  Son  of  man  be  come. 

24  2/The  disciple  is  not  above  his 
master,  nor  the  servant  above  his  lord. 

26  It  is  enough  for  the  disciple  that 
he  be  as  his  master,  and  the  servant  as 
his  lord.  If  ^they  have  called  the 
master  of  the  house  ^Beelzebub,  how 
much  more  shall  they  call  them  of  his 
household  ? 

26  Fear  them  not  therefore:  «for 
there  is  nothing  covered,  that  shall  not 
be  revealed  ;  and  hid,  that  shall  not  be 
known. 

27  What  I  tell  you  in  darkness,  that 
speak  ye  in  light:  and  what  ye  hear 
in  the  ear,  that  preach  ye  upon  the 
housetops. 

28  ^And  fear  not  them  which  kill 
the  body,  but  are  not  able  to  kill  the 
soul :  but  rather  fear  him  which  is  able 
to  destroy  both  soul  and  body  in  hell. 

29  Are  not  two  sparrows  sold  for  a 
farthing?  and  one  of  them  shall  not 
fall  on  the  ground  without  your  Father.

Acts  8.  1  And  Saul  was  consenting  unto  his

I  Sa.  14.  45  And  the  people  said  unto  Saul, 

Shall  Jonathan  die,  who  hath  wrought 
this  great  salvation  in  Israel?  God 
forbid:  as  the  Lord  liveth,  there 
shall  not  one  hair  of  his  head  fall  to 
the  ground ;  for  he  hath  wrought  with 
God  this  day.  So  the  people  rescued 
Jonathan,  that  he  died  not. 

II  Sa.l4.  11  Then  said  she,   I  pray  thee,  let 

the  king  remember  the  Lord  thy  God, 
that  thou  wouldest  not  suffer  the  re- 
vengers of  blood  to  destroy  any  more, 
lest  they  destroy  my  son.  And  he 
said,  As  the  Lord  liveth,  there  shall 
not  one  hair  of  thy  son  fall  to  the 
earth. 

Luke  21.  18  But  there  shall  not  a  hair  of 
your  head  perish. 

Acts  27.  34  Wherefore  I  pray  you   to  take 
some  meat ;  for  this  is  for  your  health  : 
for  there  shall  not  a  hair  fall  from  the 
head  of  any  of  you.

Luke  12.  8  Also  I  say  unto  you,  Whosoever 
shall  confess  me  before  men,  him  shall 
the  Son  of  man  also  confess  before  the 
angels  of  God : 

Rom.lO.  9  That  if  thou  shalt  confess  with  thy 
mouth  the  Lord  Jesus,  and  shalt  be- 
lieve in  thine  heart  that  God  hath 
raised  him  from  the  dead,  thou  shalt 
be  saved. 

10  For  with  the  heart  man  believeth 
unto  righteousness ;  and  with  the 
mouth  confession  is  made  unto  salva- 
tion.

Rev.  3.  5  He  that  overcometh,  the  same 
shall  be  clothed  in  white  raiment;

his  name  before  my  Father,  and  be-

Mark  8.  38  Whosoever  therefore  shall  be 
ashamed  of  me  and  of  my  words,  in

ashamed,  when  he  cometh  in  the 
glory  of  his  Father  with  the  holy 
angels. 

Luke  9.  26  For  whosoever  shall  be  ashamed 
of  me  and  of  my  words,  of  him  shall

heard  of  the  fame  of  Jesus,

Matt.ll.  11  Verily  I  say  unto  you.  Among

hath  not  risen  a  greater  than  John 
the  Baptist :  notwithstanding,  he  that 
is  least  in  the  kingdom  of  heaven  is 
greater  than  he. 

Matt.16.  14  And  they  said,  Some  say  that  thou 
art  John  the  Baptist;  some,  Elias; 
and  others,  Jeremias,  or  one  of  the 
prophets. 

Mark  8.  28  And  they  answered,  John  the 
Baptist:  but  some  say,  Elias;  and 
others,  One  of  the  prophets. 

John  10.  41  And  many  resorted  unto  him, 
and  said,  John  did  no  miracle:  hut 
all  things  that  John  spake  of  this 
man  were  true.

14  ^And  king  Herod  heard  of  him; 
(for  his  name  was  spread  abroad  ;) 
and  he  said,  That  John  the  Baptist 
was  risen  from  the  dead,  and  therefore 
mighty  works  do  show  forth  themselves 
in  him. 

15  <^Others  said,  That  it  is  Elias. 
And  others  said,  That  it  is  a  prophet, 
or  as  one  of  the  prophets.' 

16  ^But  when  Herod  heard  thereof, 

he  said.  It  is  John,  whom  I  beheaded : 

he  is  risen  from  the  dead.  (p.  78.)

11  And  Jesus  answered  and  said  un-

and  restore  all  things. 

Luke  1.  17  ^  And  he  shall  go  before  him  in  the 
spirit  and  power  of  Elias,  to  turn  the 
hearts  of  the  fathers  to  the  children, 
and  the  disobedient  to  the  wisdom  of 
the  just :  to  make  ready  a  people  pre-

selves together  unto  Jesus,  and  told 
him  all  things,  both  what  they  had 
done,  and  what  they  had  taught.

ye  yourselves  apart  into  a  desert  place,

coming  and  going,  and  they  had  no 
leisure  so  much  as  to  eat.

saw  much  people,  and  was  moved 
with  compassion  toward  them,  because 
they  were  as  sheep  not  having  a  shep-

go  into  the  country  round  about,  and

ICor.lO.  16  The  cup  of  blessing  which  we 
bless,  is  it  not  the  communion  of  the 
blood  of  Christ?  The  bread  which 
we  break,  is  it  not  the  communion  of 
the  body  of  Christ  ? 

17  For  we  being  many  are  one  bread, 
and  one  body :  for  we  are  all  partak- 
ers of  that  one  bread. 

18  Behold  Israel  after  the  flesh :  are 
not  they  which  eat  of  the  sacrifices 
partakers  of  the  altai^? 

ICor.ll.  23  For  I  have  received  of  the  Lord 
that  which  also  I  delivered  unto  you. 
That  the  Lord  Jesus,  the  same  night 
in  which  he  was  betrayed,  took  bread : 

24  And  when  he  had  given  thanks, 
he  brake  it,  and  said,  Take,  eat ;  this 
is  my  body,  which  is  broken  for  you  : 
this  do  in  remembrance  of  me. 

25  After  the  same  manner  also  he 
took  the  cup,  when  he  had  supped, 
saying,  This  cup  is  the  new  testament 
in  my  blood :  this  do  ye,  as  oft  as  ye 
drink  it,  in  remembrance  of  me. 

26  For  as  often  as  ye  eat  this  bread, 
and  drink  this  cup,  ye  do  show  the 
Lord's  death  till  he  come. 

27  Wherefore  whosoever  shall  eat 
this  bread,  and  drink  this  cup  of  the 
Lord,  unworthily,  shall  be  guilty  of 
the  body  and  blood  of  the  Lord. 

28  But  let  a  man  examine  himself, 
and  so  let  him  eat  of  that  bread,  and 
drink  of  that  cup. 

29  For  he  that  eateth  and  drinketh 
unworthily,  eateth  and  drinketh  dam- 
nation to  himself,  not  discerning  the 
Lord's  body. 

30  For  this  cause  many  are  weak

John  4.  14  But  whosoever  drinketh  of  the

shall  give  him  shall  be  in  him  a  well 
of  water  springing  up  into  everlasting 
life. 

John  7.  37  In  the  last  day,  that  great  day  of 
the  feast,  Jesus  stood  and  cried,  say-

unto  me,  and  drink.

of  water  shall  he  guide  them. 

Rev.  7.  16  They  shall  hunger  no  more, 
neither  thirst  any  more ;  neither  shall 
the  sun  light  on  them,  nor  any  heat. 
17  For  the  Lamb  which  is  in  the 
midst  of  the  throne  shall  feed  them, 
and  shall  lead  them  unto  living  fount- 
ains of  waters:  and  God  shall  wipe 
away  all  tears  from  their  eyes.

And  many  other  things  there  be,  which 
they  have  received  to  hold,  as  the 
washing  of  cups,  and  ^pots,  brazen 
vessels,  and  of  tables. 

5  ''Then  the  Pharisees  and  scribes 
asked  him,  Why  walk  not  thy  dis- 
ciples according  to  the  tradition  of  the 
elders,  but  eat  bread  with  unwashen 
hands  ? 

6  He  answered  and  said  unto  them, 
Well  hath  Esaias  prophesied  of  you 
hypocrites,  as  it  is  written,  ^This  peo- 
ple honoureth  me  with  their  lips,  but 
their  heart  is-  far  from  me. 

7  Howbeit  in  vain  do  they  worship 
me,  teaching  for  doctrines  the  com- 
mandments of  men. 

8  For  laying  aside  the  command- 
ment of  God,  ye  hold  the  tradition  of 
men,  as  the  washing  of  pots  and  cups : 
and  many  other  such  like  things  ye  do. 

9  And  he  said  unto  them,  Full  well 
ye  ^reject  the  commandment  of  God, 
that  ye  may  keep  your  own  tradition. 

10  For  Moses  said,  ^Honour  thy 
father  and  thy  mother ;  and,  'Whoso 
curseth  father  or  mother,  let  him  die 
the  death : 

11  But  ye  say.  If  a  man  shall  say  to 
his  father  or  mother.  It  is  *Corban, 
that  is  to  say,  a  gift,  by  whatsoever 
thou  mightest  be  profited  by  me  ;  he 
shall  be  free. 

12  And  ye  suflTer  him  no  more  to  do 
aught  for  his  father  or  his  mother  ; 

13  Making  the  word  of  God  of  none 
effect  through  your  tradition,  which  ye 
have  delivered:  and  many  such  like 
things  do  ye.

Cometh  out  of  the  mouth,  this  defileth

Acts  13.    46  Then  Paul  and  Barnabas  waxed 

bold,  and  said.  It  was  necessary  that 

the  word  of  God  should  first  have 

been  spoken  to  you:    but  seeing  ye 

put  it  from  you,  and  judge  yourselves 

unworthy  of  everlasting  life,  lo,  we 

turn  to  the  Gentiles. 
Rom.  15.  8  Now  I  say  that  Jesus  Christ  was  a 

minister  of  the  circumcision  for  the 

truth  of  God,  to  confirm  the  promises 

made  unto  the  fathers : 


Isa.  56.  9  All  ye  beasts  of  the  field,  come  to 
devour,  yea,  all  ye  beasts  in  the  forest. 
10  His  watchmen  are  blind:  they 
are  all  ignorant,  they  are  all  dumb 
dogs,  they  cannot  bark  ;  sleeping, 
lying  down,  loving  to  slumber. 

Matt.  7.  6  Give  not  that  which  is  holy  unto 
the  dogs,  neither  cast  ye  your  pearls 
before  swine,  lest  they  trample  them 
under  their  feet,  and  turn  again  and 
rend  you. 

Epli.2.  12  That  at  that  time  ye  were  with- 
out Christ,  being  aliens  from  the 
commonwealth  of  Israel,  and  stran- 
gers from  the  covenants  of  promise, 
having  no  hope,  and  without  God  in 
the  world : 

Phil.  3.  2  Beware  of  dogs,  beware  of  evil 
workers,  beware  of  the  concision. 

Rev.  22.  15  For  without  are  dogs,  and  sorcer- 
ers, and  whoremongers,  and  murder- 
ers, and  idolaters,  and  whosoever 
loveth  and  maketh  a  lie.

*  From  whence  can  a  man  satisfy  these 
men  with  bread  here  in  the  wilderness?

Elias  verily  cometh  first,  and  restoreth

hell,  and  shall  consume  the  earth  with 
her  increase,  and  set  on  fire  the  foim- 
dations  of  the  mountains. 

23  I  will  heap  mischiefs  upon  them ; 
I  will  spend  mine  arrows  upon  thena. 

24  They  shall  be  burnt  with  hunger, 
and  devoured  with  burning  heat,  and 
with  bitter  destruction:  I  will  also 
send  the  teeth  of  beasts  upon  them, 
with  the  poison  of  serpents  of  the 
dust. 

25  The  sword  without,  and  terror 
within,  shall  destroy  both  the  young 

nan  and  the  virgin,  the  suckling  also 
with  the  man  of  gray  hairs. 

26  I  said,  I  would  scatter  them  into 
corners,  I  would  make  the  remem- 
brance of  them  to  cease  from  among 
men: 

27  Were  it  not  that  I  feared  the 
wrath  of  the  enemy,  lest  their  ad- 
versaries should  behave  themselves 
strangely,  and  lest  they  should  say, 
Our  hand  is  high,  and  the  Lord  hath 
not  done  all  this. 

28  For  they  are  a  nation  void  of 
counsel,  neither  is  there  any  under- 
standing in  them. 

29  O  that  they  were  wise,  that  they 
understood  this,  that  they  would  con- 
sider  their  latter  end  1 

8  And  might  not  be  as  their  fathers, 
a  stubborn  and  rebellious  generation ; 
a  generation  that  set  not  their  heart 
aright,  and  whose  spirit  was  not  stead-, 
fast  with  God. 

9  The  children  of  Ephraim,  being 
armed,  and  carrying  bows,  turned  back 
in  the  day  of  battle. 

10  They  kept  not  the  covenant  oi 
God  and  refused  to  walk  in  his  law ; 

40  And  with  many  other  words  did 
he  testify  and  exhort,  saying,  Save 
yourselves  from  this  untoward  gener- 
ation. 

10  Wherefore  I  was  grieved  with 
that  generation,  and  said.  They  do 
always  err  in  their  heart;  and  they 
have  not  known  my  ways. 

11  So  I  sware  in  my  wrath.  They 
shall  not  enter  into  my  rest. 

12  Take  heed,  brethren,  lest  there  be 
in  any  of  you  an  evil  heart  of  unbelief, 
in  departing  from  the  liviug  God.

47  And  if  thine  eye  Offend  thee, 
^pluck  it  out :  it  is  better  for  thee  to 
enter  into  the  kingdom  of  God  with 
one  eye,  than  having  two  eyes  to  be 
cast  into  hell  fire  : 

48  Where  their  worm  dieth  not,  aud 
the  fire  is  not  quenched. 

49  For  every  one  shall  be  salted  with 
fire,  *and  every  sacrifice  shall  be  salted 
with  salt. 

50  *Salt  is  good  :  but  if  the  salt  have 
lost  his  saltness,  wherewith  will  ye  sea- 
son it?  ^Have  salt  in  yourselves,  and 
^have  peace  one  with  another,  (p.  3G6.)

18:   10-14. 

10  "Take  heed  that  ye  despise  not 
one  of  these  little  ones  ;  for  I  say  unto 
you.  That  in  heaven  their  angels  do 
always  ^behold  the  face  of  my  Father 
which  is  in  heaven. 

11  ^For  the  Son  of  man  is  come  to 
save  that  which  was  lost. 

12  ^How  think  ye  ?  if  a  man  have  a 
hundred  sheep,  and  one  of  them  be 
gone  astray,  doth  he  not  leave  the 
ninety  and  nine,  and  goeth  into  the 
mountains,  and  seeketh  that  ^which  is 
gone  astray  ? 

13  And  if  so  be  that  he  find  it,  ver- 
ily I  say  unto  you,  he  rejoiceth  /more 
of  that  sheep,  than  of  the  ninety  and 
nine  which  went  not  astray. 

14  Even  so  it  is  not  the  will  of  your 
Father  which  is  in  heaven,  that  one  of 
these  little  ones  should  perish. 


Ps.  34.  7  The  angel  of  the  Lord  encampeth

herd, and  against  the  man  that  is  my 
fellow,  saith  the  Lord  of  hosts : 
smite  the  Shepherd,  and  the  sheep 
shall  be  scattered  :  and  I  will  turn 
mine  hand  upon  the  little  ones. 

14  Are  they  not  all  ministering  spir- 
its, sent  forth  to  minister  for  them  who' 
shall  be  heirs  of  salvation  ?

21  Then  came  Peter  to  him,  and 
said,  Lord,  how  oft  shall  my  brother 
sin  against  me,  and  I  forgive  him? 
"till  seven  times  ? 

22  Jesus  saith  unto  him,  I  say  not 
unto  thee,  Until  seven  times  :  ^but, 
Until  seventy  times  seven. 

23  Therefore  is  the  kingdom  of 
heaven  likened  unto  a  certain  king, 
which  would  take  account  of  his  ser- 
vants. 

24  And  when  he  had  begun  to 
reckon,  one  was  brought  unto  him, 
which  owed  him  ten  thousand  ^talents. 

25  But  forasmuch  as  he  had  not  to 
pay,  his  lord  commanded  him  ^to  be 
sold,  and  his  wife,  and  children,  and 
all  that  he  had,  and  payment  to  be 
made. 

26  The  servant  therefore  fell  down, 
and  ^worshipped  him,  saying,  Lord, 
have  patience  with  me,  and  I  will  pay 
thee  all. 

27  Then  the  lord  of  that  servant  was 
moved  with  compassion,  and  loosed 
him,  and  forgave  him  the  debt. 

28  But  the  same  servant  went  out, 
and  found  one  of  his  fellow  servants, 
which  owed  him  a  hundred  ^pence  : 
and  he  laid  hands  on  him,  and  took 
him  by  the  throat,  saying.  Pay  me  that 
thou  owest. 

29  And  his  fellow  servant  fell  down 
at  his  feet,  and  besought  him,  saying. 
Have  patience  with  me,  and  I  will  pay

of  them  shall  ye  buy,  and  of  their

shall  be  your  bondmen  forever:  but 
over  your  brethren  the  children  of  Is- 
rael, ye  shall  not  rule  one  over  an- 
other with  rigour. 

47  And  if  a  sojourner  or  stranger 
wax  rich  by  thee,  and  thy  brother  that 
divelleth  by  him  wax  poor,  and  sell 
himself  unto  the  stranger  or  sojourner 
by  thee,  or  to  the  stock  of  the  stran- 
ger's family : 

48  After  that  he  is  sold  he  may  be 
redeemed  again ;  one  of  his  brethren 
may  redeem  him : 

49  Either  his  uncle,  or  his  uncle's 
son,  may  redeem  him,  or  any  that  is 
nigh  of  kin  unto  him-  of  his  family 
may  redeem  him ;  or  if  he  be  able,  he 
may  redeem  himself. 

50  And  he  shall  reckon  with  him 
that  bought  him  from  the  year  that  he 
was  sold  to  him  unto  the  year  of  ju- 
bilee :  and  the  price  of  his  sale  shall 
be  according  unto  the  number  of  years, 
according  to  the  time  of  a  hired  serv- 
ant shall  it  be  with  him. 

51  If  there  be  yet  many  years  behind, 
according  unto  them  he  shall  give 
again  the  price  of  his  redemption  out 
of  the  money  that  he  was  bought  for. 

52  And  if  there  remain  but  few  years 
unto  the  year  of  jubilee,  then  he  shall 
count  with  him,  and  according  unto 
his  years  shall  he  give  him  again  the 
price  of  his  redemption. 

53  And  as  a  yearly  hired  servant 
hall  he  be  with  him :  and  the  other 

shall  not  rule  with  rigour  over  him  in 
thy  sight. 

54  And  if  he  be  not  redeemed  in 
these  years,  then  he  shall  go  out  in  the 
year  of  jubilee,  both  he,  and  his  chil- 
dren with  him.

of  the  wives  of  the  sons  of  the  proph-

my  husband  is  dead ;  and  thou  know- 
est  that  thy  servant  did  fear  the  Lord  : 
and  the  creditor  is  come  to  take  unto 
him  my  two  sons  to  be  bondmen. 
Neh.  5.  1  And  there  was  a  great  cry  of  the 
people  and  of  their  wives  against  their 
brethren  the  Jews. 

2  For  there  were  that  said,  We,  our 
sons,  and  our  daughters,  are  many: 
therefore  we  take  up  corn  for  them^ 
that  we  may  eat,  and  live. 

3  Some  also  there  were  that  said,  We 
have  mortgaged  our  lands,  vineyards, 
and  houses,  that  we  might  buy  corn, 
because  of  the  dearth. 

4  There  were  also  that  said.  We  have 
borrowed  money  for  the  king's  trib- 
ute, and  that  upon  our  lands  and  vine- 
yards. 

5  Yet  now  our  flesh  is  as  the  flesh  of 
our  brethren,  our  children  as  their 
children :  and,  lo,  we  bring  into  bond- 
age our  sons  and  our  daughters  to  be 
servants,  and  some  of  our  daughters 
are  brought  into  bondage  already: 
neither  is  it  in  our  power  to  redeem 
them ;  for  other  men  have  our  lands 
and  vineyards. 

6  And  I  was  very  angry  when  I 
heard  their  cry  and  these  words. 

7  Then  I  consulted  with  myself,  and 
I  rebuked  the  nobles,  and  the  rulers, 
and  said  unto  them.  Ye  exact  usury, 
every  one  of  his  brother.  And  I  set 
a  great  assembly  against  them. 

8  And  I  said  unto  them.  We,  after 
our  ability,  have  redeemed  our  breth- 
ren the  Jews,  which  were  sold  unto 
the  heathen;  and  will  ye  even  sell 
your  brethren?  or  shall  they  be  sold 
unto  us  ?  Then  held  they  their  peace, 
and  found  nothing  to  answer. 

Jer.  34.    14  At  the  end  of  seven  years  let  ye 
go  every  man  his  brother  a  Hebrew, 
which  hath  been  sold  unto  thee ;  and 
when  he  hath  served  thee  six  years, 
thou  shalt  let  him  go  free  from  thee  :

land  of  Judah,  and  there  eat  bread, 
and  prophesy  there :

sent  lions  among  them,  which  slew

should  be  put  out  of  the  synagogue.

to him.  Sit  thou  here  in  a  good  place ; 
and  say  to  the  poor,  Stand  thou  there, 
or  sit  here  under  my  footstool : 

4  Are  ye  not  then  partial  in  your- 
selves, and  are  become  judges  of  evil 
thoughts  ? 

Jas.  2.  9  But  if  ye  have  respect  to  persons, 
ye  commit  sin,  and  are  convinced  of 
the  law  as  transgressors. 


Chap.  7. 

17  ^If  any  man  will  do  his  will,  he 
shall  know  of  the  doctrine,  whether  it 
be  of  God,  or  whether  I  speak  of  my- 
self. 

18  '^He  that  speak eth  of  himself  seek- 
eth  his  own  glory  :  but  he  that  seeketh 
his  glory  that  sent  him,  the  same  is 
true,  and  no  unrighteousness  is  in  him. 

19  *Did  not  Moses  give  you  the  law, 
and  yet  none  of  you  keepeth  the  law  ? 
''■^Why  go  ye  about  to  kill  me? 

20  The  people  answered  and  said, 
^Thou  hast  a  devil :  who  goeth  about 
to  kill  thee? 

21  Jesus  answered  and  said  unto 
them,  I  have  done  one  work,  and  ye 
all  marvel. 

22  "^Moses  therefore  gave  unto  you 
circumcision ;  (not  because  it  is  of 
Moses,  '^but  of  the  fathers;)  and  ye 
on  the  sabbath  day  circumcise  a  man. 

23  If  a  man  on  the  sabbath  day  re- 
ceive circumcision,  ^that  the  law  of 
Moses  should  not  be  broken ;  are  ye 
angry  at  me,  because  ''I  have  made  a 
man  every  whit  whole  on  the  sabbath 
day? 

24  -P Judge  not  according  to  the  ap- 
pearance, but  judge  righteous  judg- 
ment. 

25  Then  said  some  of  them  of  Jeru- 
salem, Is  not  this  he,  whom  they  seek 
to  kill? 

26  But,  lo,  he  speaketh  boldly,  and 
they  say  nothing  unto  him.  ^Do  the 
rulers  know  indeed  that  this  is  the  very 
Christ?

Matt.13.  55  Is  not  this  the  carpenter's  son  ?  is 
not  his  mother  called  Mary?  and  his 
brethren,  James,  and  Joses,  and  Si- 
mon, and  Judas  ? 
56  And  his  sisters,  are  they  not  all 
with  us  ?  Whence  then  hath  this  man 
all  these  things  ? 

Mark  6.  3  Is  not  this  the  carpenter,  the  son 
of  Mary,  the  brother  of  James,  and 
Joses,  and  of  Juda,  and  Simon  ?  and 
are  not  his  sisters  here  with  us  ?  And 
they  were  offended  at  him. 

Luke  4.  22.    See  under  E,  page  312.

Johns.  14  Jesus  answered  and  said  unto 
them.  Though  I  bear  record  of  myself, 
yet  my  record  is  true:  for  I  knoAV 
whence  I  came,  and  whither  I  go  ;  but 
ye  cannot  tell  whence  I  come,  and 
whither  I  go. 

T 

John  5.  43  I  am  come  in  my  Father's  name, 
and  ye  receive  me  not :  if  another 
shall  come  in  his  own  name,  him  ye 
will  receive. 

Jotins.  42  Jesus  said  unto  them,  If  God 
were  your  Father,  ye  would  love  me : 
for  I  proceeded  forth  and  came  from 
God;  neither  came  I  of  myself,  but 
he  sent  me. 

U 

John  5.  32  There  is  another  that  beareth  wit- 
ness of  me ;  and  I  know  that  the  wit- 
ness which  he  witnesseth  of  me  is 
true. 

John  8.  26  I  have  many  things  to  say  and  to 
judge  of  you  :  but  he  that  sent  me  is 
true  :  and  I  speak  to  the  world  those 
things  which  I  have  heard  of  him. 
27  They  understood  not  that  he 
spake  to  them  of  the  Father. 

Rom.  3,  4  God  forbid  :  yea,  let  God  be  true, 
but  every  man  a  liar ;  as  it  is  written, 
That  thou  mightest  be  justified  in  tliy 
sayings,  and  mightest  overcome  when 
thou  art  judged. 

X 

Ps.  9.  10  And  they  that  know  thy  name  will 
put  their  trust  in  thee :  for  thou.  Lord, 
hast  not  forsaken  them  that  seek  thee. 

Johnl.  18  No  man  hath  seen  God  at  any 
time;  the  only  begotten  Son,  which  is 
in  the  bosom  of  the  Father,  he  hath 
declared  him. 

John  8.  55  Yet  ye  have  not  known  him ;  but 
I  know  liim  :  and  if  I  should  say,  I 
know  him  not,  I  shall  be  a  liar  like 
unto  you :  but  I  know  him,  and  keep 
his  saying. 


Matt.ll.  27  All  things  are  delivered  imto  me 
of  my  Father :  and  no  man  knoweth 
the  Son,  but  the  Father ;  neither 
knoweth  any  man  the  Father,  save  the 
Son,  and  he  to  whomsoever  the  Son 
will  reveal  him. 

John  10.  15  As  the  Father  knoweth  me,  even 
so  know  I  the  Father :  and  I  lay  down 
my  life  for  the  sheep.

Mark  11.  18  And  the  scribes  and  chief  priests 
heard  it,  and  sought  how  they  might 
destroy  him  :  for  they  feared  him,  be- 
cause  all  the  people  was  astonished  at 
his  doctrine. 

Luke  19.  47  And  he  taught  daily  in  the  tem- 
ple. But  the  chief  priests  and  the 
scribes  and  the  chief  of  the  people 
sought  to  destroy  him, 

Luke  20.  19  And  the  chief  priests  and  the 
scribes  the  same  hour  sought  to  lay 
hands  on  him ;  and  they  feared  the 
people :  for  they  perceived  that  he 
had  spoken  this  parable  against  them. 

John  7.  19.    See  text  of  topic. 

Johns.  37  I  know  that  ye  are  Abraham's 
seed  ;  but  ye  seek  to  kill  me,  because 
my  word  hath  no  place  in  you. 

John  7.  44.    See  text  of  topic.     ' 

John  8.    20  These  words  spake  Jesus  in  the 
treasury,  as  he  taught  in  the  temple  : 
and  no  man  laid  hands  on  him;  for 
his  hour  was  not  yet  come. 
B 

Matt.l2.  23  And  all  the  people  were  amazed, 
and  said,  Is  not  this  the  Son  of 
David  ? 

John  3.  1  There  was  a  man  of  the  Pharisees, 
named  Nicodemus,  a  ruler  of  the 
Jews: 

2  The  same  came  to  Jesus  by  night, 
and  said  unto  him,  Rabbi,  we  know 
that  thou  art  a  teacher  come  from 
God  :  for  no  man  can  do  these  mir- 
acles that  thou  doest,  except  God  be 
with  him. 

John  8.  30  As  he  spake  these  words,  many 
believed  on  him. 

C 

John  13.  33  Little  children,  yet  a  little  while 
I  am  with  you.  Ye  shall  seek  me ; 
and  as  I  said  unto  the  Jews,  Whither 
I  go,  ye  cannot  come ;  so  now  I  say 
to  you. 

John  16.  16  A  little  while,  and  ye  shall  not 
see  me :  and  again,  a  little  while,  and 
ye  shall  see  me,  because  I  go  to  the 
Father.

men  loved  darkness  rather  than  light, 
because  their  deeds  were  evil.

16  And  yet  if  I  Judge,  my  judg-

I  and  the  Father  that  sent  me. 

17  ^It  is  also  written  in  your  law,

beareth  witness  of  me.

not  come  of  myself,  but  lie  that  sent

John  15.  15  Henceforth  I  call  you  not  ser- 
vants; for  the  servant  knoweth  not 
what  his  lord  doeth  :  but  I  have  called 
you  friends ;  for  all  things  that  I  have

Num.21.  9  And  Moses  made  a  serpent  of 
brass,  and  put  it  upon  a  pole  ;  and  it 
came  to  pass,  that  if  a  serpent  had 
bitten  any  man,  when  he  beheld  the 
serpent  of  brass,  he  lived. 

n  Ki.l8.  4  He  removed  the  high  places,  and 
brake  the  images,  and  cut  down  the 
groves,  and  brake  in  pieces  the  brazen 
serpent  that  Moses  had  made :  for  un- 
to those  days  the  children  of  Israel 
did  bum  incense  to  it :  and  he  called 
it  Nehushtan. 

Luke  18.  32  For  he  shall  be  delivered  unto 
the  Gentiles,  and  shall  be  mocked, 
and  spitefully  entreated,  and  spitted 
on: 

33  And  they  shall  scourge  him,  and 
put  him  to  death  ;  and  the  third  day 
he  shall  rise  again. 

John  -3.  14  And  as  Moses  lifted  up  the  ser- 
pent in  the  wilderness,  even  so  must 
the  Son  of  man  be  lifted  up : 

Jchnl2.  32  And  I,  if  I  be  lifted  up  from  the 
earth,  will  draw  ail  men  unto  me. 

John  12.  34  The  people  answered  him.  We 
have  heard  out  of  the  law  that  Christ 
abideth  for  ever:  and  how  sayest 
thou,  The  Son  of  man  must  be  lifted 
up  ?  who  is  this  Son  of  man? 

Rom.  5.  18  Therefore,  as  by  the  offence  of 
one  judgment  came  upon  all  men  to 
condemnation ;  even  so  by  the  right- 
eousness of  one  the  free  gift  came  upon 
all  men  unto  justification  of  life.

many  were  made  sinners,  so  by  tlie 
obedience  of  one  shall  many  be  made 
righteous.

9  Wherefore  God  also  hath  highly 
exalted  him,  and  given  him  a  name 
which  is  above  every  name  :

16  Doubtless  thou  art  our  Father, 

though  Abraham  be  ignorant  of  us,

John  1.  12  But  as  many  as  received  him,  to

John  3.  15  That  whosoever  believeth  in  him 
should  not  perish,  but  have  eternal 
life. 

16  For  God  so  loved  the  world,  that 
lie  gave  his  only  begotten  Son,  that 
whosoever  believeth  in  him  should 
not  perish,  but  have  everlasting  life. 

John  3.  36  He  that  believeth  on  the  Son 
hath  everlasting  life :  and  he  that  be- 
lieveth not  the  Son  shall  not  see  life ; 
but  the  wrath  of  God  abideth  on  him.

water  that  I  shall  give  him  shall

Son,  and  believeth  on  him,  may  have 
everlasting  life :  and  I  will  raise  him 
up  at  the  last  day.

know  them,  and  they  follow  me :

life  ;  and  they  shall  never  perish,

John  12.  50  And  I  know  that  his  command- 
ment is  life  everlasting :  whatsoever  I 
speak  therefore,  even  as  the  Father 
said  unto  me,  so  I  speak. 

John  17,  3  And  this  is  life  eternal,  that  they 
might  know  thee  the  only  true  God 
and  Jesus  Christ,  whom  thou  hast 
sent. 

John  20.  31  But  these  are  written,  that  ye 
might  believe  that  Jesus  is  the  Christ, 
the  Son  of  God ;  and  that  believing 
ye  might  have  life  through  his  name. 

Acts  13.  39  And  by  him  all  that  believe  are 
justified  from  all  things,  from  which 
ye  could  not  be  justified  by  the  law  of 
Moses. 

Rom.  3.  28  Therefore  we  conclude  that  a  man 
is  justified  by  faith  without  the  deeds 
of  the  law. 

Rom.  6.  22  But  now  being  made  free  from 
sin,  and  become  servants  to  God,  ye 
have  your  fruit  unto  holiness,  and  the 
end  everlasting  life.    • 

23  For  the  wages  of  sin  is  death ;  but 
the  gift  of  God  is  eternal  life  through 
Jesus  Christ  our  Lord.

Lev.  19.  33  And  if  a  stranger  sojourn  with 
thee  in  jour  land,  ye  shall  not  vex 
him. 
34  But  the  stranger  that  dwelleth 
with  you  shall  be  unto  you  as  one 
born  among  you,  and  thou  shalt  love 
him  as  thyself ;  for  ye  were  strangers 
in  the  land  of  Egypt :  I  am  the  Lord 
your  God. 

Lukeier  15  And  he  said  unto  them.  Ye  are 
they  which  justify  yourselves  before 
men ;  but  God  knoweth  your  hearts : 
for  that  which  is  highly  esteemed 
among  men  is  abomination  in  the 
sight  of  God. 

Luke  18.  9  And  he  spake  this  parable  unto 
certain  which  trusted  in  themselves 
that  they  were  righteous,  and  despised

Jer.  5.  30  A  wonderful  and  horrible  thing

and  the  priests  bear  rule  by  their 
mcans  ;  and  my  people  love  to  ^ave  it

thereof? 

Hos.  5.  1  Hear  ye  this,  O  priests ;  and  heark- 
en, ye  house  of  Israel;  and  give  ye 
ear,  O  house  of  the  king:  for  judg- 
ment is  toward  you,  because  ye  have 
been  a  snare  on  Mizpah,  and  a  net 
spread  upon  Tabor. 

Mai.  1.  10  Who  is  there  even  among  you  that 
would  shut  the  doors  for  nought? 
neither  do  ye  kindle  fire  on  mine  altar

you,  saith  the  Lord  of  hosts,  neither 
will  I  accept  an  offering  at  your  hand.

Ps.  38.  10  My  heart  panteth,  my  strength 
faileth  me:  as  for  the  light  of  mine

Ps,  142.  4  I  looked  on  my  right  hand,  and

shall  n/)t  he  render  to  every  man  ac-

Jas.  2.  13  For  he  shall  have  judgment  with- 
out mercy,  that  hath  showed  no  mer-

Depart  in  peace,  he  ye  warmed  and 
filled ;  notwithstanding  ye  give  them 
not  those  things  which  are  needful  to 
the  body ;  what  doth  it  profit  ? 

I  Jno.  3.  16  Hereby  perceive  we  the  love  oj 
God,  because  he  laid  down  his  life  for 
us:  and  we  ought  to  lay  down  cup 
lives  for  the  brethren. 

17  But  whoso  hath  this  world's  good, 
and  seeth  his  brother  have  need,  and 
shutteth  up  his  bowels  of  compassion 
from  him,  how  dwelleth  the  love  of 
God  in  him  ? 

18  My  little  children,  let  us  not  love 
in  word,  neither  in  tongue;  but  in 
deed  and  in  truth.

that  is  near  than  a  brother  far  off. 

Jer.  38.  12  And  Ebed-melech  the  Ethiopian

which  stripped  him  of  his  raiment, 
and  wounded  him,  and  departed,  leav-

a  certain  -Spriest  that  way  ;  and  when

his  wounds,  pouring  in  oil  and  wine,

O  Lord,   thou  son  of    David;    my

23  But  he  answered  her  not  a  word.

Avenge  me  of  mine  adversary.

afterward  he  said  within  himself. 
Though  I  fear  not  God,  nor  regard  man; 

5  Yet  because  this  widow  troubleth 
me,  I  will  avenge  her,  lest  by  her  con- 
tinual coming  she  weary  me.

unjust  judge  saith. 

7  And  shall  not  God  avenge  his  own 
elect,  which  cry  day  and  night  unto 
him,  though  he  bear  long  with  them  ?

speedily.  Nevertheless,  when  the  Son

Job  5.  12  He  disappointeth  the  devices  of 
the  crafty,  so  that  their  hands  cannot 
perform  their  enterprise. 

13  He  taketh  the  wise  in  their  own 
craftiness :  and  the  counsel  of  the  fro- 
ward  is  carried  headlong. 

14  They  meet  with  darkness  in  the

Isa.  29.  14  Therefore,  behold,  I  will  proceed 
to  do  a  marvellous  work  among  this 
people,  even  a  marvellous  work  and  a 
wonder :  for  the  wisdom  of  their  wise 
men  shall  perish,  and  the  understand- 
ing of  their  prudent  men  shall  be  hid. 

Matt.li.  25  At  that  time  Jesus  answered  and 
said,  I  thank  thee,  O  Father,  Lord  of 
heaven  and  earth,  because  thou  hast 
hid  these  things  from  the  wise  and 
prudent,  and  hast  revealed  them  unto 
babes. 

26  Even  so.  Father ;  for  so  it  seemed 
good  in  thy  sight.

the  wisdom  of  the  wise,  and  will  bring 
to  nothing  the  understanding  of  the 
prudent. 

I  Cor.  2.  6  Howbeit  we  speak  wisdom  among 
them  that  are  perfect:  yet  not  the 
wisdom  of  this  world,  nor  of  the 
princes  of  this  world,  that  come  to 
nought :

are  subject  unto  us  through  thy  name. 

18  And  he  said  unto  them,  ^I  beheld 
Satan  as  lightning  fall  from  heaven. 

19  Behold,  ^I  give  unto  you  power 
to  tread  on  serpents  and  scorpions,  and

not,  that  the  spirits  are  subject  unto

names  are  written  in  heaven.

who  the  Father  is,  but  the  Son,  and  he 
to  whom  the  Son  will  reveal  him. 

23  And  he  turned  him  unto  his  dis-

the  eyes  which  see  the  things  that  ye 
see;

and  folioweth  after  me,  is  not  worthy 
of  rae.

Job  1.  8  And  the  Lord  said  unto  Satan, 
Hast  thou  considered  my  servant  Job, 
that  there  is  none  like  him  in  the 
earth,  a,  perfect  and  an  upright  man, 
one  that  feareth  God,  and  escheweth 
evil? 

9  Then  Satan  answered  the  Lord, 
and  said,  Doth  Job  fear  God  for 
nought? 

10  Hast  not  thou  made  a  hedge 
about  him,  and  about  his  house,  and 
about  all  that  he  hath  on  every  side  ? 
thou  hast  blessed  the  work  of  his 
hands,  and  his  substance  is  increased 
in  the  land. 

11  But  put  forth  thine  hand  now, 
and  touch  all  that  he  hath,  and  he 
will  curse  thee  to  thy  face. 

12  And  the  Lord  said  unto  Satan, 
Behold,  all  that  he  hath  is  in  thy 
power;  only  upon  himself  put  not 
forth  thine  hand.  So  Satan  went  forth 
from  the  presence  of  the  Lord. 

Job  3.      2  And  Job  spake,  and  said, 

3  Let  the  day  perish  wherein  I  was 
born,  and  the  night  in  which  it  was 
said,  There  is  a  man  child  conceived. 

4  Let  the  day  be  darkness ;  let  not 
God  regard  it  from  above,  neither  let 
the  light  shine  upon  it. 

Job  3,  G  As  for  that  night,  let  darkness 
seize  upon  it ;  let  it  not  be  joined  unto 
the  days  of  the  year ;  let  it  not  come 
into  the  number  of  the  months. 

Job  22.  5  Is  not  thy  wickedness  great  ?  and 
thine  iniquities  infinite  ? 

6  For  thou  hast  taken  a  pledge  from 
thy  brother  for  nought,  and  stripped 
the  naked  of  their  clothing. 

7  Thou  hast  not  given  water  to  the 
weary  to  drink,  and  thou  hast  with- 
holden  bread  from  the  hungry. 

8  But  as  for  the  mighty  man,  he  had 
the  earth ;  and  the  honourable  man 
dwelt  in  it. 

9  Thou  hast  sent  widows  away  empty, 
and  the  arms  of  the  fatherless  have 
been  broken. 

10  Therefore  snares  are  round  about 
thee,  and  sudden  fear  troubleth  thee ; 

11  Or  darkness,  that  thou  canst  not 
see;  and  abundance  of  waters  cover  thee. 

Job  32.  3  Also  against  his  three  friends  was 
his  wrath  kindled,  because  they  had

found   no  answer,   and  yet  had  con- 
demned Job. 

Eccl.  9.  1  For  all  this  I  considered  in  my 
heart  even  to  declare  all  this,  that  the 
righteous,  and  the  wise,  and  their 
works,  are  in  the  hand  of  God:  no 
man  knoweth  either  love  or  hatred  by 
all  that  is  before  them. 

2  All  things  come  alike  to  all :  there 
is  one  event  to  the  righteous,  and  to 
the  wicked  ;  to  the  good  and  to  the 
clean,  and  to  the  unclean ;  to  him  that 
eacrificeth,  and  to  him  that  sacrificeth 
not :  as  is  the  good,  so  is  the  sinner ; 
and  he  that  sweareth,  as  he  that  fear- 
eth an  oath. 

Acts  28.  4  And  when  the  barbarians  saw  the 
venomous  beast  hang  on  his  hand  they 
said  among  themselves.  No  doubt  this 
man  is  a  murderer,  whom,  though  he 
hath  escaped  the  sea,  yet  vengeance 
suffereth  not  to  live. 

5  And  he  shook  off  the  beast  into 
the  fire,  and  felt  no  harm. 

6  Howbeit  they  looked  when  he 
should  have  swollen,  or  fallen  down 
dead  suddenly:  but  after  they  had 
looked  a  great  while,  and  saw  no 
harm  come  to  him,  they  changed  their 
minds,  and  said  that  he  was  a  god. 

C 

John  11.  4  When  Jesus  heard  that,  he  said, 
This  sickness  is  not  unto  death,  but 
for  the  glory  of  God,  that  the  Son  of 
God  might  be  glorified  thereby.

John  4.  34  Jesus  saith  unto  them.  My  meat 
is  to  do  the  will  of  him  that  sent  rae, 
and  to  finish  his  work. 

John  5.  19  Then  answered  Jesus  and  said 
unto  them.  Verily,  verily,  I  say  unto 
you,  The  Son  can  do  nothing  of  him- 
self, but  what  he  seeth  the  Father  do : 
for  what  things  soever  he  doeth,  these 
also  doeth  the  Son  likewise. 

John  5.  36  But  I  have  greater  witness  than 
that  of  John :  for  the  works  which  the 
Father  hath  given  me  to  finish,  the 
same  works  that  I  do,  bear  witness  of 
me,  that  the  Father  hath  sent  me. 

John  11.  9  Jesus  answered.  Are  there  not 
twelve  hours  in  the  day  ?  If  any  man 
walk  in  the  day,  he  stumbleth  not, 
because  he  seeth  the  light  of  this 
world. 

John  12.  35  Then  Jesus  said  unto  them,  Yet 
a  little  while  is  the  light  with  you. 
Walk  while  ye  have  the  light,  lest 
darkness  come  upon  you :  for  he  that

that  light  is  come  into  the  world,  and

1  And  as  JesiLs  passed  by,  he  saw  a 
man  which  was  blind  from  his  birth. 

2  And  his  disciples  asked  him,  say- 
ing, Master,  «who  did  sin,  this  man,  or 
his  parents,  that  he  was  born  blind? 

3  Jesus  answered,  ^Neither  hath  this 
man  sinned,  nor  his  parents :  ^but  that 
the  works  of  God  should  be  made 
manifest  in  him. 

4  ^I  must  work  the  works  of  him  that 
sent  me,  while  it  is  day:  the  night 
cometh,  when  no  man  can  work. 

5  As  long  as  ^I  am  in  the  world,  I 
am  the  light  of  the  world.

John  3.  2  The  same  came  to  Jesus  by  night, 
and  said  unto  him,  Rabbi,  we  know 
that  thou  art  a  teacher  come  from 
God :  for  no  man  can  do  these  mir-

John  7.  12  And  there  was  much  murmuring 
among  the  people  concerning  him : 
for  some  said.  He  is  a  good  man : 
others  said,  Nay;  but  he  deceiveth 
the  people. 

43  vSo  there  was  a  division  among 
the  people  because  of  him. 

19  There  was  a  division  therefore 
again  among  the  Jews  for  these  say-

15  The  Lord  thy  God  will  raise  up 
unto  thee  a  Prophet  from  the  midst 
of  thee,  of  thy  brethren,  like  unto 
me ;  unto  him  ye  shall  hearken  ; 

19  The  woman  saith  unto  him.  Sir, 
I  perceive  that  thou  art  a  prophet. 

14  Then  those  men,  when  they  had 

seen  the  miracle  that  Jesus  did,  said, 

This  is  of  a  truth  that  Prophet  that 

should  come  into  the  world. 

N 

14  And  Lot  went  out,  and  spake  un- 
to his  sons  in  law,  which  married  his 
daughters,  and  said.  Up,  get  you  out 
of  this  place;  for  the  Lord  will  de- 
stroy this  city.  But  he  seemed  as  one 
that  mocked  unto  his  sons  in  law. 

11  Lord,  when  thy  hand  is  lifted 
up,  they  will  not  see:  hut  they  shall 
see,  and  be  ashamed  for  their  envy  at 
the  people;  yea,  the  fire  of  thine 
enemies  shall  devour  them. 

1  Who  hath  believed  our  report? 
and  to  whom  is  the  arm  of  the  Lord 
revealed  ? 

.  31  And  he  said  unto  him.  If  they 
hear  not  Moses  and  the  prophets, 
neither  will  they  be  persuaded,  though 
one  rose  from  the  dead.

will  hear  his  voice,  harden  not  your 
hearts,  as  in  the  provocation. 

16  For  some,  when  they  had  heard, 
did  provoke:  howbeit  not  all  that 
came  out  of  Egypt  by  Moses. 

17  But  with  whom  was  he  grieved 
forty  years  ?  was  it  not  with  them  that 
had  sinned,  whose  carcasses  fell  in  the 
wilderness  ?

eat  up  my  flesh,  they  stumbled  and 
fell. 

Prov.29.  25  The  fear  of  man  bringeth  a  snare : 
but  whoso  putteth  his  trust  in  the 
Lord  shall  be  safe.

righteousness,  the  people  in  whose 
heart  is  my  law ;  fear  ye  not  the  re- 
proach of  men,  neither  be  ye  afraid  of 
their  revilings.

you :  who  art  thou,  that  thou  should- 
est  be  afraid  of  a  man  that  shall  die, 
and  of  the  son  of  man  which  shall  be 
made  as  grass ; 

Isa.  57.  11  And  of  whom  hast  thou  been 
afraid  or  feared,  that  thou  hast  lied, 
and  hast  not  remembered  me,  nor 
laid  it  to  thy  heart  ?  have  not  I  held 
my  peace  even  of  old,  and  thou  fear- 
est  me  not  ? 

Luke  12.  4  And  again  he  sent  unto  them  an- 
other servant:  and  at  him  they  cast 
stones,  and  wounded  him  in  the  head, 
and  sent  him,  away  shamefully  han- 
dled. 

5  And  again  he  sent  another;  and 
him  they  killed,  and  many  others; 
beating  some,  and  killing  some. 

6  Having  yet  therefore  one  son,  his 
well  beloved,  he  sent  him  also  last 
unto  them,  saying.  They  will  rever-

rulers  also  many  believed  on  him ; 
but  because  of  the  Pharisees  they  did 
not  confess  him,  lest  they  should  be

John  19.  38  And  after  this  Joseph  of  Ari- 
mathea,  being  a  disciple  of  Jesus,  but 
secretly  for  fear  of  the  Jews,  besought 
Pilate  that  he  might  take  away  the

tioch,  I  withstood  him  to  the  face,  be-

12  For  before  that  certain  came  from 
James,  he  did  eat  with  the  Gentiles : 
but  when  they  were  come,  le  with- 
drew and  separated  himself,  fearing 
them  which  were  of  the  circumcision.

likewise  with  him;  insomuch  that 
Barnabas  also  was  carried  away  with 
their  dissimulation.

13  They  brought  to  the  Pharisees 
him  that  aforetime  was  blind. 

14  And  it  was  the  sabbath  day  when 
Jesus  made  the  clay,  and  opened  his  eyes. 

15  Then  again  the  Pharisees  also 
asked  him  how  he  had  received  his 
sight.  He  said  unto  them,  He  put 
clay  upon  mine  eyes,  and  I  washed, 
and  do  see. 

16  Therefore  said  some  of  the  Phari- 
sees, This  man  is  not  of  God,  because 
he  keepeth  not  the  sabbath  day. 
Others  said,  *How  can  a  man  that  is  a 
sinner  do  such  miracles?  ^And  there 
was  a  division  among  them. 

17  They  say  unto  the  blind  man 
again,  What  say  est  thou  of  him,  that 
he  hath  opened  thine  eyes?  He  said, 
'"He  is  a  prophet. 

18  "But  the  Jews  did  not  believe  con- 
cerning him,  that  he  had  been  blind, 
and  received  his  sight,  until  they  called 
the  parents  of  him  that  had  received 
his  sight.

this  your  son,  who  ye  say  was  born 
blind  ?  how  then  doth  he  now  see? 

20  His  parents  answered  them  and 
said,  We  know  that  this  is  our  son, 
and  that  he  was  born  blind : 

21  But  by  what  means  he  now  seetb 
we  know  not ;  or  who  hath  opened  his 
eyes,  we  know  not :  he  is  of  age  ;  ask 
him  :  he  shall  speak  for  himself. 

22  These  words  spake  his  parents, 
^'because  they  feared  the  Jew^s  :  for  the 
Jews  had  agreed  already,  that  if  any 
man  did  confess  that  he  was  Christ, 
he  -Pshould  be  put  out  of  the  synagogue.

the  Lord  will  not  hear  me : 

28  Then  shall  they  call  upon  me, 
but  I  will  not  answer ;  they  shall  seek 
me  early,  but  they  shall  not  find  me : 

•  29  The  Lord  is  far  from  the  wicked  :

saith  the  Lord  of  hosts :

Gen.  18.  23  And  Abraham  drew  near,  and 
said,  Wilt  thou  also  destroy  the  right- 
eous with  the  wicked  ? 

24  Peradventure  there  be  fifty  right- 
eous within  the  city :  wilt  thou  also 
destroy  and  not  spare  the  place  for 
the  fifty  righteous  that  are  therein  ? 

25  That  be  far  from  thee  to  do  after 
this  manner,  to  slay  the  righteous  with 
the  wicked;  and  that  the  righteous 
should  be  as  the  wicked,  that  be  far 
from  thee :  Shall  not  the  Judge  of  all 
the  earth  do  right  ? 

26  And  the  Lord  said.  If  I  find  in 
Sodom  fifty  righteous  within  the  city, 
then  I  will  spare  all  the  place  for 
their  sakes. 

27  And  Abraham  answered  and  said. 
Behold  now,  I  have  taken  upon  me  to 
speak  unto  the  Lord,  which  am,  hut 
dust  and  ashes  : 

'28  Peradventure  there  shall  lack 
five  of  the  fifty  righteous:  wilt  thou 
destroy  all  the  city  for  lack  of  five? 
And  he  said,  If  I  find  there  forty  and 
five,  I  will  not  destroy  it. 

29  And  he  spake  unto  him  yet  again, 
and  said,  Peradventure  there  shall  be 
forty  found  there.  And  he  said,  I 
will  not  do  it  for  forty's  sake. 

80  And  he  said  unto  him,  Oh  let  not 
the  Lord  be  angry,  and  I  will  speak : 
Peradventure  there  shall  thirty  be 
found  there.  And  he  said,  I  will  not 
do  it,  if  I  find  thirty  there. 

31  And  he  said.  Behold  now,  I  have 
taken  upon  me  to  speak  unto  the 
Lord:    Peradventure  there  shall  be

will  not  destroy  it  for  twenty's  sake. 

32  And  he  said.  Oh  let  not  the  Lord 
be  angry,  and  1  will  speak  yet  but  this 
once :  Peradventure  ten  shall  be  found 
there.  And  he  said,  I  will  not  de- 
stroy it  for  ten's  sake. 

33  And  the  Lord  went  his  way,  as 
soon  as  he  had  left  communing  with 
Abraham:  and  Abraham  returned 
unto  his  place. 

Gen.  19.  29  And  it  came  to  pass,  when  God 
destroyed  the  cities  of  the  plain,  that 
God  remembered  Abraham,  and  sent 
Lot  out  of  the  midst  of  the  overthrow, 
when  he  overthrew  the  cities  in  the 
which  Lot  dwelt. 

Gen.  20.  7  Now  therefore  restore  the  man  his 
wife ;  for  he  is  a  prophet,  and  he  shall 
pray  for  thee,  and  thou  shalt  live :  and 
if  thou  restore  her  not,  know  thou  that 
thou  shalt  surely  die,  thou,  and  all 
that  are  thine. 

I  Ki.  18.  36  And  it  came  to  pass  at  the  time  of 

the  offering  of  the  evening  sacrifice, 
that  Elijah  the  prophet  came  near, 
and  said.  Lord  God  of  Abraham, 
Isaac,  and  of  Israel,  let  it  be  known 
this  day  that  thou  art  God  in  Israel, 
and  that  I  am  thy  servant,  and  that 
I  have  done  all  these  things  at  thy 
word. 

37  Hear  me,  O  Lord,  hear  me,  that 
this  people  may  know  that  thou  art 
the  Lord  God,  and  that  thou  hast 
turned  their  heart  back  again. 

38  Then  the  fire  of  the  Lord  fell, 
and  consumed  the  burnt  sacrifice,  and 
the  wood,  and  the  stones,  and  the 
dust,  and  licked  up  the  water  that  was 
in  the  trench. 

II  Chr.  32.  20  And  for  this  cause  Hezekiah  the 

king,  and  the  prophet  Isaiah  the  son 
of  Amoz,  prayed  and  cried  to  heaven. 
21  And  the  Lord  sent  an  angel, 
which  cut  off  all  the  mighty  men  of 
valour,  and  the  leaders  and  captains 
in  the  camp  of  the  king  of  Assyria. 
So  he  returned  with  shame  of  face  to 
his  own  land.  And  when  he  was 
come  into  the  house  of  his  God,  they 
that  came  forth  of  his  own  bowels  slew 
him  there  with  the  sword.

24  Then  again  called  they  the  man 
that  was  blind,  and  said  unto  him, 
?Give  God  the  praise :  ''we  know  that 
this  man  is  a  sinner. 

25  He  answered  and  said,  Whether 
he  be  a  sinner  or  no,  I  know  not :  one 
thing  I  know,  that,  whereas  I  was 
blind,  now  I  see. 

26  Then  said  they  to  him  again. 
What  did  he  to  thee  ?  how  opened  he 
thine  eyes? 

27  He  answered  them,  I  have  told 
you  already,  and  ye  did  not  hear: 
wherefore  would  ye  hear  it  again? 
will  ye  also  be  his  disciples  ? 

28  Then  they  reviled  him,  and  said. 
Thou  art  his  disciple ;  but  we  are 
Moses'  disciples. 

29  We  know  that  God  spake  unto 
Moses  :  as  for  this  fellow,  *we  know  not 
from  whence  he  is. 

30  The  man  answered  and  said  unto 
them,  Why  herein  is  a  marvellous 
thing,  that  ye  know  not  from  whence 
he  is,  and  yet  he  hath  opened  mine  eyes. 

31  Now  we  know  that  «God  heareth 
not  sinners  :  but  if  any  man  be  a  wor- 
shipper of  God,  and  doeth  his  will, 
^him  he  heareth. 

32  Since  the  world  began  was  it  not 
heard  that  any  man  opened  the  eyes  of 
one  that  was  born  blind. 

33  ^If  this  man  were  not  of  God,  he 
could  do  nothing. 

34  They  answered  and  said  unto  him, 
^Thou  wast  altogether  born  in  sins,  and 
dost  thou  teach  us  ?  And  they  ^cast 
him  out.

words  of  knowledge. 

Mark  4.  24  And  he  said  unto  them.  Take 
heed  what  ye  hear.  With  what 
measure  ye  mete,  it  shall  be  measured 
to  you ;  and  unto  you  that  hear  shall 
more  be  given. 

Gal.  1.  8  But  thougli  we,  or  an  angel  from 
heaven,  preach  any  other  gospel  unto 
you  than  that  which  we  have  preached 
unto  you,  let  him  be  accursed.

children,  tossed  to  and  fro,  and  carried 
about  with  every  wind  of  doctrine,  by 
the  sleight  of  men,  and  cunning  crafti-

Jer.  23.  1  Woe  be  unto  the  pastors  that  de- 
stroy and  scatter  the  sheep  of  my  pas-

Jer.  50.  6  My  people  hath  been  lost  sheep : 
their  shepherds  have  caused  them  to 
go  astray,  they  have  turned  them 
away  on  the  mountains:  they  have 
gone  from  mountain  to  hill,  they  have 
forgotten  their  resting  place. 

Eze.22.  25  There  is  a  conspiracy  of  her  prophets 
in  the  midst  thereof,  like  a  roaring  lion 
ravening  the  prey  :  they  have  devour- 
ed souls ;  they  have  taken  the  treasure 
and  precious  things  ;  they  have  made 
her  many  widows  in  the  midst  thereof. 

Zech.  11.  4,  5.    See  under  B,  page  3U8. 

Zech.ll.  6  For  I  will  no  more  pity  the  in-

but,  lo,  I  will  deliver  the  men  every 
one  into  his  neighbour's  hand,  and  in-

Matt.18.  11  For  the  Son  of  man  is  come  to

Johns.  17  For  God  sent  not  his  Son  into 
the  world  to  condemn  the  world ;  but 
that  the  world  through  him  might  be 
saved. 

John  5.  45  Do  not  think  that  I  will  accuse 
you  to  the  Father:  there  is  one  that 
accuseth  you,  even  Moses,  in  whom  ye

Johns.  15  Ye  judge  after  the  flesh ;  I  judge 
no  man. 

John  12.  47  And  if  any  man  hear  my  words, 
and  believe  not,  I  judge  him  not :  for 
I  came  not  to  judge  the  world,  but  to 
save  the  world. 

I  Jno.  4.  14  And  we  have  seen  and  do  testify 
that  the  Father  sent  the  Son  to  he  the 
Saviour  of  the  world.

shepherd :  he  shall  gather  the  lambs

bosom,  and  shall  gently  lead  those 
that  are  with  young. 

Eze.  34.  12  A^  a  shepherd  seeketh  out  his 
flock  in  the  day  that  he  is  among  his 
sheep  that  are  scattered ;  so  will  I  seek 
out  my  sheep,  and  will  deliver  them 
out  of  all  places  where  they  have 
been  scattered  in  the  cloudy  and  dark 
dav. 

Eze.  34.    23  And  I  will  set  up  one  Shepherd 

over  them,  and  he  shall  feed  them, 

even  my  servant  David  ;  he  shall  feed 

'  them,  and  he  shall  be  their  shepherd. 

Eze.  37.  24  And  David  my  servant  shall  h6 
king  over  them;  and  they  all  shall 
have  one  shepherd:  they  shall  also 
walk  in  my  judgments,  and  observe 
my  statutes,  and  do  them. 

Heb.  13.  20  Now  the  God  of  peace,  that 
brought  again  from  the  dead  our 
Lord  Jesus,  that  great  Shepherd  of 
the  sheep,  through  the  blood  of  the 
everlasting  covenant, 

I  Pet.  2.  25  For  ye  were  as  sheep  going 
astray;  but  are  now  returned  unto 
the  Shepherd  and  Bishop  of  your 
souls. 

I  ret.  5.  4  And  when  the  chief  Shepherd 
shall  appear,  ye  shall  receive  a  crown

leaveth  the  flock !  the  sword  shall  he

his  arm  shall  be  clean  dried  up,  and

Eph.  1.  17  That  the  God  of  our  Lord  Jesus 
Christ,  the  Father  of  glory,  may  give 
unto  you  the  spirit  of  wisdom  and

power  of  his  resurrection,  and  the

them. 

7  Then  said  Jesus  unto  them  again. 
Verily,  verily,  I  say  unto  you,  I  am 
the  Moor  of  the  sheep. 

8  All  that  ^ever  came  before  me  arts 
thieves  and  robbers  :  but  the  sheep  did 
not  hear  them. 

9  ^I  am  the  door :  by  me  if  any  man 
enter  in,  he  shall  be  saved,  and  shall 
go  in  and  out,  and  find  pasture. 

10  The  ^thief  cometh  not,  but  for  to 
steal,  and  to  kill,  and  to  destroy :  *I 
am  come  that  they  might  have  life, 
and  that  they  might  have  it  more 
abundantly. 

11  ^*I  am  the  good  shepherd :  the 
good  shepherd  giveth  his  life  for  the 
sheep. 

12  But  he  that  is  a  hireling,  and  not 
the  shepherd,  whose  own  the  sheep  are 
not,  seeth  the  wolf  coming,  and  ^leav- 
eth the  sheep,  and  fleeth ;  and  the  wolf 
catcheth  them,  and  scattereth  the 
sheep. 

13  The  hireling  fleeth,  because  he 
is  a  hireling,  and  careth  not  for  the 
sheep. 

14  I  am  the  good  shepherd,  and 
^'^know  my  sheep,  and  am  known  of

that  are  gathered  unto  him. 

Isa.  60.  3  And  the  Gentiles  shall  come  to  thy 
light,  and  kings  to  the  brightness  of 
thy  rising. 

Zech.  2.  11  And  many  nations  shall  be  joined 
to  the  Lord  in  that  day,  and  shall  be 
my  people:  and  I  will  dwell  in  the

that  the  Lord  of  hosts  hath  sent  me 
unto  thee.

Eccl.  12.  11  The  words  of  the  wise  are  as 
goads,  and  as  nails  fastened  by  the 
masters  of  assemblies,  which  are  given 
from  one  shepherd. 

Eze.  34.  23  And  I  will  set  up  one  Shepherd 
over  them,  and  he  shall  feed  them, 
even  my  servant  David ;  he  shall  feed 
them,  and  he  shall  be  their  shepherd. 

Sze.  37.  22  And  I  will  make  them  one  na- 
tion in  the  land  upon  the  mountains 
of  Israel ;  and  one  king  shall  be  king 
to  them  all:  and  they  shall  be  no 
more  two  nations,  neither  shall  they 
be  divided  into  two  kingdoms  any 
more  at  all : 

Eph.  2.  14  For  he  is  our  peace,  who  hath 
made  both  one,  and  hath  broken  down 
the  middle  wall  of  partition  between  iis  : 

Heb.  13.  20  Now  the  God  of  peace,  that

Jesus,  that  great  Shepherd  of  the

he  is  brought  as  a  lamb  to  the  slaugh- 
ter, and  as  a  sheep  before  her  shearers 
is  dumb,  so  he  openeth  not  his  mputh. 
8  He  was  taken  from  prison  and 
from  judgment :  and  who  shall  declare 
his  generation  ?  for  he  was  cut  off  out 
of  the  land  of  the  living:  for  the 
transgression  of  my  people  was  he 
stricken. 

Isa.  53.  12  Therefore  will  I  divide  him  a 
portion  with  the  great,  and  he  shall 
divide  the  spoil  with  the  strong;  be- 
cause he  hath  poured  out  his  soul  unto 
death :  and  he  was  numbered  with  the 
transgressors ;  and  he  bare  the  sin  of 
many,  and  made  intercession  for  the 
transgressors. 

Heb.  2.  9  But  we  see  Jesus,  who  was  made  a 
little  lower  than  the  angels  for  the 
suffering  of  death,  crowned  with  glory 
and  honour ;  that  he  by  the  grace  of 
God  should  taste  death  for  every  man.

ye  shall  abide  in  my  love ;  even  as  I 
have  kept  my  Father's  command-

bring,  and  they  shall  hear  my  voice:

I  might  take  it  again.

to  lay  it  down,  and  I  have  power  to 
take  it  again.  ^This  commandment 
have  I  received  of  my  Father.

ye  stone  me  ?

For  a  good  work  we  stone  thee  not ;

Lazarus,  of  Bethany,  the  town  of

the  Lord  with  ointment,  and  wiped  his 
feet  with  her  hair,  whose  brother 
Lazarus  was  sick. ) 

3  Therefore  his  sisters  sent  unto  him, 
saying.  Lord,  behold,  ^he  whom  thou 
lovest  is  sick. 

4  When  Jesus  heard  that,  he  said. 
This  sickness  is  not  unto  death,  ^but 
for  the  glory  of  God,  that  the  Son  of 
God  might  be  glorified  thereby.

sister,  and  Lazarus.

Ps.  11.  1  In  the  Lord  put  I  my  trust ;  how 
say  ye  to  my  soul,  Flee  as  a  bird  to  your

have  received  of  the  Lord  Jesus,  to 
testify  the  gospel  of  the  grace  of  God.

ye  to  weep  and  to  break  mine  heart? 
for  I  am  ready  not  to  be  bound  only, 
but  also  to  die  at  Jerusalem  for  the 
name  of  the  Lord  Jesus.

Jer.  13.  16  Give  glory  to  the  Lord  your 
God,  before  he  cause  darkness,  and 
before  your  feet  stumble  upon  the 
dark  mountains,  and,  while  ye  look 
for  light,  he  turn  it  into  the  shadow  of 
death,  and  make  it  gross  darkness. 

Jer.  31  9  They  shall  come  with  weeping,  and 
with  supplications  will  I  lead  them  :  I

they  shall  not  stumble :  for  1  am  a

John  9.  4  I  must  work  the  works  of  him 
that  sent  me,  while  it  is  day :  the

John  12.  35  Then  Jesus  said  unto  them,  Yet 
a  little  while  is  the  light  with  you. 
Walk  while  ye  have  the  light,  lest 
darkness  come  upon  you :  for  he  that 
walketh  in  darkness  knoweth  not

ashamed ;  for  they  shall  not  prosper : 
their  everlasting  confusion  shall  never 
be  forgotten. 

John  8.  12  Then  spake  Jesus  again  unto  them, 
saying,  I  am  the  light  of  the  world  ; 
he  that  followeth  me  shall  not  walk  in 
darkness,  but  shall  have  the  light  of 
life.

him  the  same  night,  and  said,  I  am 
the  God  of  Abraham  thy  father :  fear 
not,  for  I  am  with  thee,  and  will  bless 
thee,  and  multiply  thy  seed  for  my 
servant  Abraham's  sake.

that  he  had  made  him  overseer  in  his 
house,  and  over  all  that  he  had,  that 
the  Lord  blessed  the  Egyptian's  house 
for  Joseph's  sake ;  and  the  blessing  of 
the  Lord  was  upon  all  that  he  had  in

6  When  he  had  heard  therefore  that 
he  was  sick,  ^he  abode  two  days  still 
in  the  same  place  where  lie  was. 

7  Then  after  that  saith  he  to  his  dis- 
ciples, Let  us  go  into  Judiea  again. 

8  His  disciples  say  unto  him,  Master, 
''the  Jews  of  late  sought  to  stone  thee ; 
and  goest  thou  thither  again  ? 

9  Jesus  answered,  Are  there  not 
twelve  hours  in  the  day?  fflf  any 
man  walk  in  the  day,  he  stumbleth 
not,  because  he  seeth  the  light  of  this 
world. 

10  ^But  if  a  man  walk  in  the  night, 
he  stumbleth,  because  there  is  no  light 
in  him. 

1 1  These  things  said  he  :  and  after 
that  he  saith  unto  them.  Our  %iend 
Lazarus  %leepeth  ;  but  I  go,  that  I 
may  awake  him  out  of  sleep. 

12  Then  said  his  disciples.  Lord,  if 
he  sleep,  he  shall  do  well. 

13  Howbeit  Jesus  spake  of  his  death  : 
but  they  thought  that  he  had  spoken 
of  taking  of  rest  in  sleep. 

14  Then  said  Jesus  unto  them  plainly, 
Lazarus  is  dead. 

15  And  I  am  glad  %r  your  sakes 
that  I  was  not  there,  to  the  intent  ye 
may  believe :  nevertheless  let  us  go

have  their  portion  in  this  life,  and 
whose  belly  thou  lillest  with  thy  hid

Martha  and  Mary,  to  comfort  them 
concerning  their  brother. 

20  Then  Martha,  as  soon  as  she 
heard  that  Jesus  was  coming,  went 
and  met  him :  but  Mary  sat  still  in 
the  house.

Lord,  if  thou  hadst  been  fiere,  my 
brother  had  not  died. 

22  But  I  know,  that  even  now, 
"'whatsoever  thou  wilt  ask  of  God,

loved  of  my  Father,  and  I  will  love 
him,  and  will  manifest  myself  to  him. 

John  15.  10  If  ye  keep  my  commandments,  ye

succour  them  that  are  tempted. 

Heb.  4.  15  For  we  have  not  an  high  priest

Eph.  5.  25  Husbands,  love  your  wives,  even

9  In  this  was  manifested  the  love  of 
God  toward  us,  because  that  God  sent 
liis  only  begotten  Son  into  the  world, 
that  we  might  live  through  him. 

10  Herein  is  love,  not  that  we  loved 
God,  but  that  he  loved  us,  and  sent 
his  Son  to  be  the  propitiation  for  our 
sins. 

11  Beloved,  if  God  so  loved  us,  we 
ought  also  to  love  one  another.

[Chap.  19.] 

E 
Rom.lO.  1  Brethren,    my   heart's   desire  and 
prayer  to  God  for  Israel  is,  that  they 
might  be  saved. 

2  For  I  bear  them  record  that  they 
have  a  zeal  of  God,  but  not  according 
to  knowledge. 

3  For  they,  being  ignorant  of  God's 
righteousness,  and  going  about  to  es- 
tablish their  own  righteousness,  have 
not  submitted  themselves  unto  the 
righteousness  of  God. 

4  For  Christ  is  the  end  of  the  law 
for  righteousness  to  every  one  that 
believeth. 


Ex.  20.    8  Remember  the    sabbath    day,   to 

keep  it  holy. 
9  Six  days  shalt  thou  labour,  and  do 

all  thy  work :

not  be  as  the  hypocrites  aj^e :  for  they 
love  to  pray  standing  in  the  syna- 
gogues and  in  the  corners  of  the 
streets,  that  they  may  be  seen  of  men. 
Verily  I  say  unto  you.  They  have 
their  reward. 
Acts  8.  20  But  Peter  said  unto  him,  Thy 
money  perish  with  thee,  because  thou 
hast  thought  that  the  gift  of  God  may 
be  purchased  with  money. 

21  Thou  hast  neither  part  nor  lot  in 
this  matter :  for  thy  heart  is  not  right 
in  the  sight  of  God. 

22  Repent  therefore  of  this  thy  wick- 
edness, and  pray  God,  if  perhaps  the 
thought  of  thine  heart  may  be  for- 
given thee. 

23  For  I  perceive  that  thou  art  in 
the  gall  of  bitterness,  and  m  the  bond 
of  iniquity.

heaven  is  like  to  a  grain  of  mustard

answered  with  indignation,  because 
that  Jesus  had  healed  on  the  sabbath 
day,  and  said  unto  the  people,  ^There 
are  six  days  in  which  men  ought  to 
work  :  in  them  therefore  come  and  be 
healed,  and  -^not  on  the  sabbath  day. 

15  The  Lord  then  answered  him, 
and  said,  ^Thou  hypocrite,  ^doth  not 
each  one  of  you  on  the  sabbath  loose 
his  ox  or  his  ass  from  the  stall,  and 
lead  him  away  to  watering  ?

the  crown  royal  which  is  set  upon  his

9  And  let  this  apparel  and  horse  be 
delivered  to  the  hand  of  one  of  the 
king's  most  noble  princes,  that  they 
may  array  the  man  ivithal  whom  the

D 


Matt.l6.  24  Then  said  Jesus  unto  his  dis- 
ciples, If  any  man  will  come  after  me, 
let  him  deny  himself,  and  take  up  his 
cross,  and  follow  me. 

Mark  8.  34  And  when  he  had  called  the 
people  unto  h  im  with  his  disciples  also, 
he  said  unto  them.  Whosoever  will 
come  after  me,  let  him  deny  himself, 
and  take  up  his  cross,  and  follow  me. 

T.uke  9.  23  And  he  said  to  them  all,  If  any 
man  will  come  after  me,  let  him  deny 
himself,  and  take  up  his  cross  daily, 
and  follow  me. 

II  Tim.3.  12  Yea,  and  all  that  will  live  godly 
in  Christ  Jesus  shall  suffer  persecu- 
tion. 

E 

Gen.  11.  4  And  they  said,  Go  to,  let  us  build 
us  a  city,  and  a  tower,  whose  top  may 
reach  unto  heaven;  and  let  us  make 
us  a  name,  lest  we  be  scattered  abroad 
upon  the  face  of  the  whole  earth. 

5  And  the  Lord  came  down  to  see 
the  city  and  the  toAver,  which  the 
children  of  men  builded. 

6  And  the  Lord  said.  Behold,  the 
people  is  one,  and  they  have  all  one 
language ;  and  this  they  begin  to  do : 
and  now  nothing  will  be  restrained 
from  them,  which  they  have  imagined 
to  do. 

7  Go  to,  let  us  go  down,  and  there 
confound  their  language,  that  they 
may  not  understand  one  another's 
speech. 

8  So  the  Lord  scattered  them  abroad 
from  thence  upon  the  face  of  all  the 
earth :  and  they  left  ofFto  build  the  city. 

9  Therefore  is  the  name  of  it  called 
Babel;  because  the  Lord  did  there 
confound  the  language  of  all  the 
earth :  and  from  thence  did  the  Lord 
scatter  them  abroad  upon  the  face  of 
all  the  earth. 

Prov.24.  27  Prepare  thy  work  without,  and 
make  it  fit  for  thyself  in  the  field : 
and  afterwards  build  thine  house. 


Josh.  24.  19  And  Joshua  said  unto  the  people, 
Ye  cannot  serve  the  Lord  :  for  he  is 
a  holy  God ;  he  is  a  jealous  God  ;  he 
will  not  forgive  your  transgressions 
nor  your  sins. 

20  If  ye  forsake  the  Lord,  and  serve 
strange  gods,  then  he  will  turn  and  do 
you  hurt,  and  consume  you,  after  that 
he  hath  done  you  good. 

21  And  the  people  said  unto  Joshua, 
Nay ;  but  we  will  serve  the  Lord. 

22  And  Joshua  said  unto  the  people, 
Ye  are  witnesses  against  yourselves  that 
ye  have  chosen  you  the  Lord,  to  serve 
him.    And  they  said.  We  are  witnesses. 

23  Now  therefore  put  away,  said  Ae, 
the  strange  gods  which  are  among  you, 
and  incline  your  heart  unto  the  Lord 
God  of  Israel. 

24  And  the  people  said  unto  Joshua, 
The  Lord  our  God  will  we  serve,  and 
his  voice  will  we  obey. 

Acts  21.  13  Then  Paul  answered.  What  mean 
ye  to  weep  and  to  break  mine  heart  ? 
for  I  am  ready  not  to  be  bound  only, 
but  also  to  die  at  Jerusalem  for  the 
name  of  the  Lord  Jesus. 

IThes.S.  4  For  verily,  when  we  were  with 
you,  we  told  you  before  that  we  should 
suffer  tribulation ;  even  as  it  came  to 
pass,  and  ye  know. 
5  For  this  cause,  when  I  could  no 
longer  forbear,  I  sent  to  know  your 
faith,  lest  by  some  means  the  tempter 
have  tempted  you,  and  our  labour  be 
in  vain. 

II  Pet.l.  13  Yea,  I  think  it  meet,  as  long  as 
I  am  in  this  tabernacle,  to  stir  you  up 
by  putting  you  in  remembrance ; 

14  Knowing  that  shortly  I  must  put 
off  this  my  tabernacle,   even  as  our 
Lord  Jesus  Christ  hath  showed  me.

God  :  and  not  that  he  should  return

Rom.  1.  21  Because  that,  when  they  knew 
God,  they  glorified  him  not  as  God, 
neither  were  thankful ;  but  became 
vain  in  their  imaginations,  and  their 
foolish  heart  was  darkened. 

Tit.  3.  3  For  we  ourselves  also  were  some-

serving  divers  lusts  and  pleasures,  liv-

others,  and  thy  years  unto  the  cruel : 

10  Lest  strangers  be  filled  with  thy 
wealth ;  and  thy  labours  he  in  the

Prov.  6.  20  My  son,  keep  thy  father's  com-

thy  mother: 

Eccl.ll.  9  Rejoice,  O  young  man,  in  thy

that  for  all  these  things  God  will  bring 
thee  into  judgment.

thy  heart,  and  put  away  evil  from  thy 
flesh:  for  childhood  and  youth  are 
vanity.

Isa.  1.  9  Except  the  Loed  of  hosts  had  left 
unto  us  a  very  small  remnant,  we 
should  have  been  as  Sodom,  and  we 
should  have  been  like  unto  Gomorrah. 

II  Tim.2.  25  In  meekness  instructing  those 
that  oppose  themselves ;  if  God  per- 
adventure  will  give  them  repentance 
to  the  acknowledging  of  the  truth ; 

26  And  that  they  may  recover  them- 
selves out  of  the  snare  of  the  devil, 
who  are  taken  captive  by  him  at  his 
will. 

E 

Mai.  2.  9  Therefore  have  I  also  made  you 
comtemptible  and  base  before  all  the 
people,  according  as  ye  have  not  kept 
my  ways,  but  have  been  partial  in  the 
law. 

Rom.  1.  24  Wherefore  God  also  gave  them 
up  to  uncleanness,  through  the  lusts 
of  their  own  hearts,  to  dishonour  their 
own  bodies  between  themselves : 

25  Who  changed  the  truth  of  God 
into  a  lie,  and  worshipped  and  served 
the  creature  more  than  the  Creator, 
who  is  blessed  for  ever.     Amen. 

26  For  this  cause  God  gave  them  up 
unto  vile  affections:  for  even  their 
women  did  change  the  natural  use  into 
that  which  is  against  nature : 

F 

Isa.  44.  20  He  feedeth  on  ashes :  a  deceived 
heart  hath  turned  him  aside,  that  he 
cannot  deliver  his  soul,  nor  say.  Is 
there  not  a  lie  in  my  right  hand  ? 

Rom.  6.  19  I  speak  after  the  manner  of  men 
because  of  the  infirmity  of  your  flesh : 
for  as  ye  have  yielded  your  members 
servants  to  uncleanness  and  to  iniquity 
unto  iniquity ;  even  so  now  yield  your 
members  servants  to  righteousness  un- 
to holiness. 

20  For  when  ye  were  the  servants  of 
sin,  ye  were  free  from  righteousness. 

21  What  fruit  had  ye  then  in  those 
things  whereof  ye  are  now  ashamed  ? 
for  the  end  of  those  things  is  death. 

G 

Pa.  32.  5  I  acknowledged  my  sin  unto  thee, 
and  mine  iniquity  have  I  not  hid.  I 
said,  I  will  confess  my  transgressions 
unto  the  Lord;  and  thou  forgavest 
the  iniquity  of  my  sin.     Selah. 

Jer.  50.  4  In  those  days,  and  in  that  time, 
saith  the  Lord,  the  children  of  Israel 
shall  come,  they  and  the  children  of 
Judah  together,  going  and  weeping: 
they  shall  go,  and  seek  the  Lord  their 
God.

belly  with  the  husks  that  the  swine 
did  eat :  and  no  man  gave  unto  him.

called  thy  son  :  make  me  as  one  of  thy

way  off,  his  father  saw  him,  and  had 
compassion,  and  ran,  and  fell  on  his 
neck,  and  kissed  him.

13(3.     THE  PARABLE  OF  THE  UNJUST  STEWARD. 


Pb.  24.    1  The  earth  is  the  Lord's,  and  the 
fulness  thereof;   the  world,  and  they 
that  dwell  therein. 
B 

Gen.  15.  2  And  Abram  said,  Lord  God,  what 
wilt  thou  give  me,  seeing  I  go  child- 
less, and  the  steward  of  my  house  is 
this  Eliezer  of  Damascus  ? 

Gen.  43.  19  And  they  came  near  to  the  stew- 
ard of  Joseph's  house,  and  they  com- 
muned with  him  at  the  door  of  the 
house. 

Luke  12.  42  And  the  Lord  said,  Who  then  is 
that  faithful  and  wise  steward,  whom 
his  lord  shall  make  ruler  over  his 
household,  to  give  them  their  portion 
of  meat  in  due  season  ? 

I  Cor.  4.  1  Let  a  man  so  account  of  us,  as  of 
the  ministers  of  Christ,  and  stewards 
of  the  mysteries  of  God. 

2  Moreover  it  is  required  in  stew- 
ards, that  a  man  be  found  faithful. 

Tit.  1.  7  For  a  bishop  must  be  blameless, 
as  the  steward  of  God  ;  not  selfwilled, 
not  soon  angry,  not  given  to  wine,  no 
striker,  not  given  to  hlthy  lucre  : 

I  Pet.  4.  10  As  every  man  hath  received  the 
gift,  even  so  minister  the  same  one  to 
another,  as  good  stewards  of  the  mani- 
fold grace  of  God. 
C 

Prov.18.  9  He  also  that  is  slothful  in  his  work 
is  brother  to  him  that  is  a  great  waster. 

Hos.  2.  8  For  she  did  not  know  that  I  gave 
her  com,  and  wine,  and  oil,  and  mul- 
tiplied her  silver  and  gold,  ivhich  they 
prepared  for  Baal. 

Luke  15. 13.    See  text  of  §  135,  page  5S5. 

Jas.  4.  3  Ye  ask,  and  receive  not,  because  ye 
ask  amiss,  that  ye  may  consume  it  upon 
your  lusts. 

D 

Eccl.  12.  14  For  God  shall  bring  every  work 
into  judgment,  with  every  secret  thing, 
whether  it  be  good,  or  whether  it  be 
evil. 

Matt.l2.  36  But  I  say  unto  you.  That  every 
idle  word  that  men  shall  speak,  they 
shall  give  account  thereof  in  the  day 
of  judgment. 

Rom.l4.  12  So  then  every  one  of  us  shall 
give  account  of  himself  to  God. 

I  Cor.  4.  5  Therefore  judge  nothing  before  the 
time,  until  the  Lord  come,  who  both 
will  bring  to  light  the  hidden  things 
^  of  darkness,  and  will  make  manifest 
the  counsels  of  the  hearts:  and  then 
shall  every  man  have  praise  of  God. 


E 

Prov.  13.  4  The  soul  of  the  sluggard  desireth, 
and  hath  nothing :  but  the  soul  of  the 
diligent  shall  be  made  fat. 

Prov.29.  21  He  that  delicately  bringeth  up 
his  servant  from  a  child  shall  have 
him  become  his  son  at  the  length. 

II  Thes.  3.  11  For  we  hear  that  there  are  some 
which   walk   among   you   disorderly, 
working  not  at  all,  but  are  busybodies,, 
F 

Prov.30.  8  Remove  far  from  me  vanity  and 
lies ;  give  me  neither  poverty  nor 
riches ;  feed  me  with  food  convenient 
for  me : 

9  Lest  I  be  full,  and  deny  thee,  and 
say,  W^ho  is  the  Lord  ?  or  lest  I  be 
poor,  and  steal,  and  take  the  name  of 
my  God  in  vain. 

Jer.  4.  22  For  my  people  is  foolish,  they 
have  not  known  me ;  they  are  sottish 
children,  and  they  have  none  under- 
standing :  they  are  wise  to  do  evil,  but 
to  do  good  they  have  no  knowledge.

The  word  Batus  in  the  original  contains

Eze.  45.  10  Ye  shall  have  just  balances,  and 
a  just  ephah,  and  a  just  bath. 

11  The  ephah  and  the  bath  shall  be 
of  one  measure,  that  the  bath  may 
contain  the  tenth  part  of  a  homer,  and 
the  ephah  the  tenth  part  of  a  homer : 
the  measure  thereof  shall  be  after  the

the  bath  of  oil,  ye  shall  offer  the  tenth

than  any  beast  of  the  field  which  the 
Lord  God  had  made.  And  he  said 
unto  the  woman.  Yea,  hath  God  said. 
Ye  shall  not  eat  of  every  tree  of  the 
garden  ?

them  ;  lest  they  multiply,  and  it  come 
to  pass,  that,  when  there  falleth  out 
any  war,  they  join  also  unto  our  ene-

them  up  out  of  the  land.

1  And  he  said  also  unto  his  dis- 
ciples, There  was  a  certain  "rich  man, 
which  had  a  ^steward  ;  and  the  same 
was  accused  unto  him  that  he  had 
^wasted  his  goods. 

2  And  he  called  him,  and  said  unto 
him.  How  is  it  that  I  hear  this  of  thee? 
^give  an  account  of  thy  stewardship ; 
for  thou  mayest  be  no  longer  steward. 

3  Then  the  steward  said  within  him- 
self, What  shall  I  do?  for  my  lord 
taketh  away  from  me  the  stewardship  : 
^I  cannot  dig  ;  to  beg  I  am  ashamed. 

4-^1  am  resolved  what  to  do  that, 
when  I  am  put  out  of  the  stewardship, 
they  may  receive  me  into  their  houses. 

5  So  he  called  every  one  of  his  lord's 
debtors  unto  him,  and  said  unto  the 
first,  How  much  owest  thou  unto  my 
lord? 

6  .And  he  said,  A  hundred  ^measures 
of  oil.  And  he  said  unto  him.  Take 
thy  bill,  and  sit  down  quickly,  and 
write  fifty. 

7  Then  said  he  to  another,  And  how 
much  owest  thou  ?  And  he  said,  A 
hundred  ^measures  of  wheat.  And 
he  said  unto  him.  Take  thy  bill,  and 
write  fourscore. 

8  And  the  lord  commended  the  un- 
just steward,  because  ^he  had  done 
wisely  :  for  the  children  of  this  world 
are  in  their  generation  wiser  than  ^the 
children  of  light. 

9  And  I  say  unto  you,"  *Make  to

Matt.  5.  32  But  I  say  unto  you,  That  whoso- 
ever shall  put  away  his  wife,  saving 
for  the  cause  of  fornication,  causeth 
her  to  commit  adultery :  and  whoso- 
ever shall  marry  her  that  is  divorced 
committeth  adultery. 

Matt.  19.  9  And  I  say  unto  you,  Whosoever 
shall  put  away  his  wife,  except  it  be 
for  fornication,  and  shall  marry  an- 
other, committeth  adultery :  and  who- 
so marrieth  her  which  is  put  away 
doth  commit  adultery. 

Mark  10.  H  And  he  saith  unto  them,  Who- 
soever shall  put  away  his  wife,  and 
marry  another,  committeth  adultery 
against  her. 

12  And  if  a  woman  shall  put  away 
her  husband,  and  be  married  to  an- 
other, she  committeth  adultery. 

I  Cor.7.  10  And  unto  the  married  I  com- 
mand, yet  not  I,  but  the  Lord,  Let  not 
the  wife  depart  from  her  husband : 

11  But  and  if  she  depart,  let  her  re- 
main unmarried,  or  be  reconciled  to 
her  husband :  and  let  not  the  husband 
put  away  his  wife.

13  They  spend  their  days  in  wealth, 
and  in  a  moment  go  down  to  the 
grave. 

14  Therefore  they  say  unto  God, 
Depart  from  us ;  for  we  desire  not  the 
knowledge  of  thy  ways. 

15  What  is  the  Almighty,  that  we 
should  serve  him?  and  what  profit 
should  we  have,  if  we  pray  unto  him  ?

wicked.

death :  but  their  strength  is  firm. 

5  They  are  not  in  trouble  as  other 
men;  neither  are  they  plagued  like 
other  men. 

6  Therefore  pride  compasseth  them 
about  as  a  chain;  violence  covereth 
them  as  a  garment. 

7  Their  eyes  stand  out  with  fatness :

19  ^There  wae  a  certain  rich  man, 
which  was  clothed  in  purple  and  fine

20  And  there  was  a  certain  beggar 
named  Lazarus,  which  was  laid  at  his

21  And  desiring  to  be  fed  with  the 
crumbs  which  fell  from  the  rich  man's

licked  his  sores.

afar  off,  and  Lazarus  in  his  bosom.

Abraham,  have  mercy  on  me,  and  send 
Lazarus,  that  he  may  dip  the  tip  of 
his  finger  in  water,  and  ^cool  my 
tongue ;  for  I  am  '"tormented  in  this

thy  good  things,  and  likewise  Lazarus

and  thou  art  tormented.

adultery:  and  whosoever  marrieth 
her  that  is  put  away  from  her  hus- 
band committeth  adultery. 

I  Cor.  7.  10  And  unto  the  married  I  com- 
mand, yet  not  I,  but  the  Lord,  Let  not 
the  wife  depart  from  her  husband : 

11  But  and  if  she  depart,  let  her  re- 
main unmarried,  or  be  reconciled  to 
her  husband :  and  let  not  the  husband 
put  away  his  wife.

I  Cor.  7.  17  But  as  God  hath  distributed  to

in  the  wilderness :

22  But  when  the  young  man  heard 
that  saying,  he  went  away  sorrowful : 
for  he  had  great  j)ossessions. 

23  Then  said  Jesus  unto  his  disci- 
ples, Verily  I  say  unto  you.  That  p  a 
rich  man  shall  hardly  enter  into  the 
kingdom  of  heaven. 

24  And  again  I  say  unto  you.  It  is 
easier  for  a  camel  to  go  through  the 
eye  of  a  needle,  than  for  a  rich  man  to 
enter  into  the  kingdom  of  God. 

25  When  his  disciples  heard  it,  they 
were  exceedingly  amazed,  saying,  ^  Who 
then  can  be  saved  ? 

26  But  Jesus  beheld  them,  and  said 
unto  them.  With  men  this  is  impossible  ; 
but  ^  with  God  all  things  are  possible.

Acts  10.  34  Then  Peter  opened  his  mouth,

God  is  no  respecter  of  persons  : 

I  Cor.  1.  26  For  ye  see  your  calling,  brethren, 
how  that  not  many  wise  men  after  the 
flesh,  not  many  mighty,  not  many 
noble,  are  called. 

I  Time.  9  But  they  that  will  be  rich  fall 
into  temptation  and  a  snare,  and  into 
many  foolish  and  hurtful  lusts,  which 
drown  men  in  destruction  and  per- 
dition. 
10  For  the  love  of  money  is  the  root 
of  all  evil :  which  while  some  coveted 
after,  they  have  erred  from  the  faith,

seek  to  enter  in,  and  shall  not  be  able.

24  And  the  disciples  were  astonished 
at  his  words.  But  Jesus  answereth 
again,  and  saith  unto  them,  Children, 
how  hard  is  it  for  them  ^  that  trust  in' 
riches  to  enter  into  the  kingdom  of  God !

and  ninth  hour,  and  did  likewise. 

6  And  about  the  eleventh  hour  he 
went  out,  and  found  others  standing 
idle,  and  saith  unto  them,  ^Why  stand 
ye  here  all  the  day  idle  ? 

7  They  say  unto  him,  ^Because  no 
man  hath  hired  us.  He  saith  unto 
them.  Go  ye  also  into  the  vinevard  ; 
and  whatsoever  is  right,  that  shall  ye 
receive. 

8  So  when  /even  was  come,  the  lord 
of  the  vineyard  saith  unto  his  steward, 
Call  the  labourers,  and  give  them  their 
hire,  beginning  from  the  last  unto  the 
first. 

9  And  when  they  came  that  were 
hired  about  the  eleventh  hour,  s'they 
received  every  man  a  penny. 

10  But  when  the  first  came,  they 
supposed  that  they  should  have  le- 
ceived  more ;  and  they  likewise  re- 
ceived every  man  a  penny. 

11  And  when  they  had  received  it, 
they  murmured  against  the  goodman 
of  the  house, 

12  Saying,  These  last  have  %rougLt 
hut  one  hour,  and  thou  hast  made 
them  equal  unto  us,  w^hich  have  borne 
the  burden  and  heat  of  the  day. 

13  But  he  answered  one  of  them, 
and  said,  Friend,  I  do  thee  no  wrong  : 
didst  not  thou  agree  with  me  for  a  penny  ? 

14  Take  that  thine  is,  and  go  thy 
way :  I  will  give  unto  this  last,  even 
as  unto  thee.

abound,  they  make  you  that  ye  shall 
neither  be  barren  nor  unfruitful  in  the 
knowledge  of  our  Lord  Jesus  Christ. 

9  But  he  that  lacketh  these  things  is 
blind,  and  cannot  see  afar  otf,  and  hath 
forgotten  that  he  was  purged  from  his 
old  sins.

daily  with  them  that  met  with  him. 

18  Then  certain  philosophers  of  the 
Epicureans,  and  of  the  Stoics,  encoun- 
tered him.  And  some  said.  What 
will  this  babbler  say  ?  other  some.  He 
seemeth  to  be  a  setter  forth  of  strange 
gods :  because  he  preached  unto  them 
Jesus,  and  the  resurrection.

him  unto  Areopagus,  saying.  May  we 
know  what  this  new  doctrine,  whereof 
thou  speakest,  is  f 

20  For  thou  bringest  certain  strange 
things  to  our  ears:  we  would  know 
therefore  what  these  things  mean.

strangers  which  were  there,  spent 
their  time  in  nothing  else,  but  either 
to  tell  or  to  hear  some  new  thing.)

Acts  17.  29  Forasmuch  then  as  we  are  the

art  and  man's  device. 

30  And  the  times  of  this  ignorance 
God  winked  at ;  but  now  commandeth 
all  men  every  where  to  repent : 

31  Because  he  hath  appointed  a  day, 
in  the  which  he  will  judge  the  world 
in  righteousness  by  that  man  whom  he 
hath  ordained ;  whereof  he  hath  given

Rom.  4.  3  For  what  saith  the  Scripture? 
Abraham  believed  God,  and  it  was

call  the  blind  man,  saying  unto  him, 

.  Be  of  good  comfort,  rise ;  he  calleth 
thee. 

50  And  he,  casting  away  his  gar- 
ment, rose,  and  came  to  Jesus. 

51  And  Jesus  answered  and  said  un- 
to him.  What  wilt  thou  that  I  should 
do  unto  thee?  The  blind  man  said 
unto  him.  Lord,  that  I  might  receive 
my  sight. 

52  And  Jesus  said  unto  him.  Go  thy 
way ;  -^thy  faith  hath  -'made  thee  whole.

called  his  own  servants,  and  delivered 
unto  them  his  goods. 

15  And  unto  one  he  gave  five  talents, 
to  another  two,  and  to  another  one ;  to 
every  man  according  to  his  several 
ability;  and  straightway  took  his 
journey. 

16  Then  he  that  had  received  the 
five  talents  went  and  traded  with  the 
same,  and  made  the^n  other  five  talents.

talents  came  and  brought  other  five 
talents,  saying.  Lord,  thou  deliveredst 
unto  me  five  talents :  behold,  I  have 
gained  beside  them  five  talents  more. 

21  His  lord  said  unto  him.  Well 
done,  thou  good  and  faithful  servant : 
thou  hast  been  faithful  over  a  few 
things,  I  will  make  thee  ruler  over 
many  things :  enter  thou  into  the  joy 
of  thy  lord. 

22  He  also  that  had  received  two 
talents  came  and  said,  Lord,  thou  de- 
liveredst unto  me  two  talents :  behold, 
I  have  gained  two  other  talents  beside 
them. 

23  His  lord  said  unto  him,  Well

hast  been  faithful  over  a  few  things, 
I  will  make  thee  ruler  over  many 
things :  enter  thou  into  the  joy  of  thy

reaping  where  thou  hast  not  sown, 
and  gathering  where  thou  hast  not 
strewed : 

25  And  I  was  afraid,  and  went  and 
hid  thy  talent  in  the  earth :  lo,  there 
thou  hast  that  is  thine. 

26  His  lord  answered  and  said  unto 
him.  Thou  wicked  and  slothful  serv-

put  my  money  to  the  exchangers,  and 
then  at  my  coming  I  should  have  re- 
ceived mine  own  with  usury. 

28  Take  therefore  the  talent  from 
him,  and  give  it  unto  him  which  hath 
ten  talents.

shall  be  given,  and  he  shall  have

11  And  as  they  heard  these  things, 
he  added  and  spake  a  parable,  because 
he  was  nigh  to  Jerusalem,  and  because 
"they  thought  that  the  kingdom  of  God 
should  immediately  appear. 

12  ^He  said  therefore,  A  certain 
nobleman  went  into  a  far  country  to 
receive  for  himself  a  kingdom,  ^and  to 
return. 

13  And  he  called  his  ten  servants, 
and  delivered  them  ten  ^pounds,  and 
said  unto  them.  Occupy  till  I  come. 

14  ^But  his  citizens  hated  him,  and 
sent  a  message  after  him,  saying,  We 
will  not  have  this  man  to  reign  over  us. 

15  And  it  came  to  pass,  that  when 
he  was  returned,  having  received  the 
kingdom,  then  he  commanded  these 
servants  to  be  called  unto  him,  to 
whom  he  had  given  the  ^money,  that 
he  might  know  how  much  every  man 
had  gained  by  trading. 

16  Then  came  the  first,  saying.  Lord, 
thy  pound  hath  gained  ten  pounds. 

17  *And  he  said  unto  him.  Well,  thou 
good  servant:  because  thou  hast  been 
faithful  in  a  very  little,  have  thou  au- 
thority over  ten  cities. 

18  And  the  second  came,  saying, 
Lord,  thy  pound  hath  gained  five 
pounds. 

19  And  he  said  likewise  to  him.  Be 
thou  also  over  five  cities.

What  hast  thou  to  do  to  declare  my 
statutes,  or  that  thou  shouldest  take  my 
covenant  in  thy  mouth  ? 

17  Seeing  thou  hatest  instruction,  and 
castest  my  words  behind  thee. 

18  When  thou  sawest  a  thief,  then 
thou  consentedst  with  him,  and  hast 
been  partaker  with  adulterers. 

19  Thou  givest  thy  mouth  to  evil,  and 
thy  tongue  frameth  deceit.

thy  brother ;  thou  slanderest  thine  own 
mother's  son. 

21  These  things  hast  thou  done,  and 
I  kept  silence ;  thou  thoughtest  that  I 
was  altogether  such  a  one  as  thyself: 
but  I  will  reprove  thee,  and  set  them  in 
order  before  thine  eyes.

God,  lest  I  tear  you  in  pieces,  and  there 
be  none  to  deliver.

anointed  the  feet  of  Jesus,  and  wiped 
his  feet  with  her  hair :  and  the  house

Judas  Iscariot,  Simon's  son,  which

5  Why  was  not  this  ointment  sold  for 
three  hundred  pence,  and  given  to  the 
poor?

the  poor  ;  but  because  he  was  a  thief,

be  found,  call  ye  upon  him  while  he 
is  near: 

7  Let  the  wicked  forsake  his  way, 
and  the  unrighteous  man  his  thoughts : 
and  let  him  return  unto  the  Lord,  and 
he  will  have  mercy  upon  him ;  and  to 
our  God,  for  he  will  abundantly  pardon. 

Eze.  18.  26  When  a  righteous  m&n  turneth 
away  from  his  righteousness,  and  com- 
mitteth  iniquity,  and  dieth  in  them  ; 
for  his  iniquity  that  he  hath  done 
shall  he  die. 

27  Again,  when  the  wicked  man 
turneth  away  from  his  wickedness 
that  he  hath  committed,  and  doeth 
that  which  is  lawful  and  right,  he 
shall  save  his  soul  alive. 

28  Because  he  considereth,  and  turn- 
eth away  from  all  his  transgressions 
that  he  hath  committed,  he  shall  sure- 
ly live,  he  shall  not  die. 

29  Yet  saith  the  house  of  Israel,  The 
way  of  the  Lord  is  not  equal.  O  house 
of  Israel,  are  not  my  w^ays  equal  ?  are 
not  your  ways  unequal  ?

husbandmen,  «that  they  might  receive 
the  fruits  of  it.

1  And  Jesus  answered  and  "spake 
unto  them  again  by  parables,  and  said, 

2  The  kingdom  of  heaven  is  like  un- 
to a  certain  king,  which  made  a  mar- 
riage for  his  son, 

3  And  ^sent  forth  his  servants  to  call 
them  that  were  bidden  to  the  wedding : 
^'and  they  would  not  come. 

4  Again,  he  sent  forth  other  servants, 
saying,  Tell  them  which  are  bidden, 
Behold,  I  have  prepared  my  dinner : 
^my  oxen  and  my  fatlings  are  killed, 
and  all  things  are  ready :  come  unto 
the  marriage. 

5  But  they  «made  light  of  it,  and 
went  their  ways,  one  to  his  farm,  an- 
other to  his  merchandise : 

6  And  /the  remnant  took  his  serv- 
ants, and  entreated  them  spitefully, 
and  slew  them. 

7  But  when  the  king  heard  thereof, 
he  was  wroth :  and  he  sent  forth  ^his 
armies,  and  destroyed  those  murderers, 
and  burned  up  their  city.

LukeU.  16  Then  said  he  unto  him,  a  cer- 
tain man  made  a  great  supper,  and 
bade  many : 

17  And  sent  his  servant  at  supper 
time  to  say  to  them  that  were  bidden, 
Come  ;  for  all  things  are  now  ready. 

18  And  they  all  with  one  consent  be- 
gan to  make  excuse.  The  first  said 
unto  him,  I  have  bought  a  piece  of 
ground,  and  I  must  needs  go  and  see 
it :  I  jDray  thee  have  me  excused. 

19  And  another  said,  I  have  bought 
five  yoke  of  oxen,  and  I  go  to  prove 
them :  I  pray  thee  have  me  excused. 

20  And  another  said,  I  have  married 
a  wife,  and  therefore  I  cannot  come. 

21  So  that  servant  came,  and  showed 
his  lord  these  things.  Then  the  mas- 
ter of  the  house  being  angry  said  to 
his  servant,  Go  out  quickly  into  the 
streets  and  lanes  of  the  city,  and  bring

and  the  halt,  and  the  blind. 

22  And  the  servant  said,  Lord,  it  is 
done  as  thou  hast  commanded,  and 
yet  there  is  room. 

23  And  the  lord  said  unto  the  serv- 
ant. Go  out  into  the  highways  and 
hedges,  and  compel  them  to  come  in, 
that  my  house  may  be  filled. 

24  For  I  say  unto  you,  That  none  of 
those  men  which  were  bidden  shall 
taste  of  my  supper.

give  honour  to  him:  for  the  marriage 
of  the  Lamb  is  come,  and  his  wife 
hath  made  herself  ready. 

8  And  to  her  was  granted  that  she 
should  be  arrayed  in  fine  linen,  clean 
and  white :  for  the  fine  linen  is  the 
righteousness  of  saints. 

9  And  he  saith  unto  me.  Write, 
Blessed  are  they  which  are  called  unto 
the  marriage  supper  of  the  Lamb.

money ;  come  ye,  buy,  and  eat ;  yea, 
come,  buy  wine  and  milk  without 
money  and  without  price. 

2  Wherefore  do  ye  spend  money  for 
that  which  is  not  bread?  and  your 
labour  for  that  which  satisfieth  not? 
hearken  diligently  unto  me,  and  eat 
ye  that  which  is  good,  and  let  your 
soul  delight  itself  in  fatness.

not  hearkened,  nor  inclined  your  ear

brother  shall  marry  his  wife,  and  raise 
up  seed  unto  his  brother. .

whose  wife  shall  she  be  of  the  seven? 
for  they  all  had  her.

the  son  of  a  Pharisee:  of  the  hope 
and  resurrection  of  the  dead  I  am

thyself.  There  is  none  other  command- 
ment greater  than  these.

Luke  11.  46  And  he  said,  Woe  unto  you  also, 
ye  lawyers  I  for  ye  lade  men  with  bur- 
dens grievous  to  be  borne,  and  ye 
yourselves  touch  not  the  burdens  with 
one  of  your  fingers. 

Acts  15.  ]  0  Now  therefore  why  tempt  ye  God, 
to  put  a  yoke  upon  the  neck  of  the 
disciples,  which  neither  our  fathers 
nor  we  were  able  to  bear  ? 

Gal.  6.  13  For  neither  they  themselves  who 
are  circumcised  keep  the  law  ;  but  de- 
sire to  have  you  circumcised,  that 
they  may  glory  in  your  flesh. 


Chap.  23.

grievous  to  be  borne,  and  lay  them  on 
men's  shoulders  ;  but  they  themselves 
will  not  move  them  with  one  of  their 
fingers. 

5  But  ^all  their  works  they  do  for 
to  be  seen  of  men :  ^they  make  broad 
their  phylacteries,  and  enlarge  the 
borders  of  their  garments,

8  "But  be  not  ye  called  Rabbi :  for 
one  is  your  Master,  ^veti  Christ ;  and 
all  ye  are  brethren. 

9  And  call  no  man  your  father  upon 
the  earth:  ^for*  one  is  your  Father, 
which  is  in  heaven,

self shall  be  abased  ;  and  he  that  shall 
humble  himself  shall  be  exalted.

Pharisees,  hypocrites !  for  ye  shut  up 
the  kingdom  of  heaven  against  men: 
for  ye  neither  go  in  your  selves ,  neither 
suffer  ye  them  that  are  entering  to 
go  in. 

14  Woe  unto  you,  scribes  and  Phari-

Matt.  6.  1  Take  heed  that  ye  do  not  your 
alms  before  men,  to  be  seen  of  them  : 
otherwise  ye  have  no  reward  of  your 
Father  which  is  in  heaven. 

2  Therefore  when  thou  doest  thine 
alms,  do  not  sound  a  trumpet  before 
thee,  as  the  hypocrites  do  in  the  syna- 
gogues and  in  the  streets,  that  they 
may  have  glory  of  men.  Verily  I  say 
unto  you.  They  have  their  reward. 

Matt.  6.  5  And  when  thou  pray  est,  thou  shalt 
not  be  as  the  hypocrites  are :  for  they 
love  to  pray  standing  in  the  syna- 
gogues and  in  the  corners  of  the 
streets,  that  they  may  be  seen  of  men. 
Verily  I  say  unto  you,  They  have 
their  reward. 

Matt.  6.  16  Moreover  when  ye  fast,  be  not  as 
the  hypocrites,  of  a  sad  countenance : 
for  they  disfigure  their  faces,  that  they 
may  appear  unto  men  to  fast.  Verily 
I  say  unto  you,  They  have  their  re-

and  that  they  put  upon  the  fringe  of 
the  borders  a  ribband  of  blue : 

Deut.  6.  8  And  thou  shalt  bind  them  for  a 
sign  upon  thine  hand,  and  they  shall 
be  as  frontlets  between  thine  eyes.

Ps.  26.  8  Lord,  I  have  loved  the  habitation

the  Lord's  throne  is  in  heaven:  his

dren of  men. 

Isa.  66.  1  Thus  saith  the  Lord,  The  heaven 
is  my  throne,  and  the  earth  is  my 
footstool :  where  is  the  house  that  ye 
build  unto  me  ?  and  where  is  the  place

the  place  of  my  rest  ? 

Rev.  4.  2  And  immediately  I  was  in  the

I  Sa.  15.  22  And  Samuel  said,  Hath  the  Lord 
as  great  delight  in  burnt  ofierings  and 
sacrifices,  as  in  obeying  the  voice  of 
the  Lord  ?  Behold,  to  obey  is  better 
than  sacrifice,  and  to  hearken  than  the 
fat  of  rams. 

Prov.15.  8  The  sacrifice  of  the  wicked  is  an 
abomination  to  the  Lord  :  but  the 
prayer  of  the  upright  is  his  delight. 

Prov.2L  3  To  do  justice  and  judgment  is  more 
acceptable  to  the  Lord  than  sacrifice. 

Isa.  1.  14  Your  new  moons  and  your  ap- 
pointed feasts  my  soul  hateth :  they 
are  a  trouble  unto  me ;  I  am  weary  to 
bear  them. 

15  And  when  ye  spread  forth  your 
hands,  I  will  hide  mine  eyes  from  you ; 
yea,  when  ye  make  many  prayers,  1 
will  not  hear :  your  hands  are  full  of 
blood. 

16  Wash  ye,  make  you  clean ;  put 
away  the  evil  of  your  doings  from  be- 
fore mine  eyes  ;  cease  to  do  evil : 

17  Learn  to  do  well ;  seek  judgment, 
relieve  the  oppressed,  judge  the  father- 
less, plead  for  the  widow. 

Jer.  22.  15  Shalt  thou  reign,  because  thou 
closest  thyself  in  cedar  ?  did  not  thy 
father  eat  and  drink,  and  do  judg- 
ment and  justice,  and  then  it  was  well 
with  him  ? 
16  He  judged  the  cause  of  the  poor 
and  needy ;  then  it  was  well  with  him  : 
wasnot  this  to  know  me?  saith  theLoRD. 

Hos.  6.  6  For  I  desired  mercy,  and  not  sacri- 
fice ;  and  the  knowledge  of  God  more 
than  burnt  offerings. 

Mic.  6.  8  He  hath  showed  thee,  O  man,  what 
is  good ;  and  what  doth  the  Lord 
require  of  thee,  but  to  do  justly,  and 
to  love  mercy,  and  to  walk  humbly 
with  thy  God  ? 

Matt.  9.  13  But  go  ye  and  learn  what  that 
meaneth,  I  will  have  mercy,  and  not 
sacrifice:  for  I  am  not  come  to  call 
the  righteous,  but  sinners  to  repentance. 

Matt.l2.  7  But  if  ye  had  known,  what  this 
meaneth,  I  will  have  mercy,  and  not 
sacrifice,  ye  would  not  have  condemned 
the  guiltless. 

Gal.  5.  22  But  the  fruit  of  the  Spirit  is  love, 
joy,  peace,  longsuffering,  gentleness, 
goodness,  faith. 

23  Meekness,  temperance:  against 
such  there  is  no  law.

Luke  11.  39  And  the  Lord  said  onto  him. 
Now  do  ye  Pharisees  make  clean  the

O  house  of  Israel  ? 

32  For  I  have  no  pleasure  in  the 
death  of  him  that  dieth,  saith  the

Look  not  on  his  countenance,  or  on

John  3.  19  And  this  is  the  condemnation, 
that  light  is  come  into  the  world,  and

light  of  life. 

John  9.  5  As  long  as  I  am  in  the  world,  I  am 
the  light  of  the  world. 

John  9.  39  And  Jesus  said,  For  judgment  I 
am  come  into  this  world,  that  they 
which  see  not  might  see  ;  and  that  they 
which  see  might  be  made  blind. 

John  12.  35  Then  Jesus  said  unto  them,  Yet 
a  little  while  is  the  light  with  you. 
Walk  while  ye  have  the  light,  lest 
darkness  come  upon  you :  for  he  that 
walketh  in  darkness  knoweth  not 
whither  he  goeth. 
36  While  ye  have  light,  believe  in 
the  light,  that  ye  may  be  the  children

THE  I\VKABLE  OF  THE  TEN  VIRGINS. 

Third  Day  of  the  Week  of  oui 

A — Concluded. 

Rev.  19.  7  Let  us  be  glad  and  rejoice,  and 
give  honour  to  him :  for  the  marriage 
of  the  Lamb  is  come,  and  his  wife 
hath  made  herself  ready. 

Rev.  21.  2  And  I  John  saw  the  holy  <^ity, 
new  Jerusalem,  coming  down  from 
Grod  out  of  heaven,  prepared  as  a 
bride  adorned  for  her  husband. 

Rev.  21.  9  And  there  came  unto  me  one  of 
the  seven  angels  which  had  the  seven 
vials  full  of  the  seven  last  plagues, 
and  talked  with  me,  saying,  Come 
hither,  I  will  show  thee  the  bride, 
the  Lamb^s  wife.

Matt.  13.  47  Again,  the  kingdom  of  heaven  is 
like  unto  a  net,  that  was  cast  into  the 
sea,  and  gathered  of  every  kind : 

Matt.22.  10  So  those  servants  went  out  into 
the  highways,  and  gathered  together 
all  as  many  as  they  found,  both  bad 
and  good:  and  the  wedding  was 
furnished  with  guests. 

ICor.lO.  5  But *with  many  of  them  God  was 
not  well  pleased :  for  they  were  over- 
thrown in  the  wilderness. 

I  Jno.  2.  19  They  went  out  from  us,  but  they 
were  not  of  us ;  for  if  they  had  been 
of  us,  they  would  no  doubt  have  con- 
tinued with  us  :  but  they  went  out,  that 
they  might  be  made  manifest  that 
they  were  not  all  of  us.

nTiin.3.  5  Having  a  form  of  godliness,  but

Tit.  1.     16  They    profess    that    they    know 
God ;  but  in  works  they  deny  him,  be-

unto  every  good  work  reprobate.

Mark  14.  37  And  he  cometh,  and  findeth  them 
sleeping,  and  saith  unto  Peter,  Simon, 
sleepest  thou  ?  couldest  not  thou  watch 
one  hour  ? 

Rom.13.  11  And  that,  knowing  the  time,  that 
now  it  is  high  time  to  awake  out  of, 
sleep  :  for  now  is  our  salvation  nearer 
than  when  we  believed. 

Eph.  5.  14  Wherefore  he  saith.  Awake  thou 
that  sleepest,  and  arise  from  the  dead, 
and  Christ  shall  give  thee  Hght. 

lThes.5.  6  Therefore  let  us  not  sleep,  as  do 
others ;  but  let  us  watch  and  be  sober.

Luke  13.  25  When  once  the  master  of  the

and  to  knock  at  the  door,  saying.  Lord, 
Lord,  open  unto  us;  and  he  shall 
answer  and  say  unto  you,  I  know  you 
not  whence  ye  are : 

Heb.  3.  18  And  to  whom  sware  he  that  they 
should  not  enter  into  his  rest,  but  to 
them  that  believed  not  ?

Avill  of  my  Father  which  is  in  heaven. 

22  Many  will  say  to  me  in  that  day. 
Lord,  Lord,  have  we  not  prophesied  in 
thy  name  ?  and  in  thy  name  have  cast 
out  devils?  and  in  thy  name  done 
many  wonderful  works  ?

I  never  knew  you:  depart  from  me, 
ye  that  work  iniquity. 

Heb.  12.  16  Lest  there  be  any  fornicator,  or 
profane  person,  as  Esau,  who  for  one 
morsel  of  meat  sold  his  birthright. 

17  For  ye  know  how  that  afterward, 
when  he  would  have  inherited  the 
blessing,  he  was  rejected :  for  he  found 
no  place  of  repentance,  though  he 
sought  it  carefully  witJi  tears.

eous than  he  ?

watch  the  thief  would  come,  he  would 
have  watched,  and  would  not  have

14  "For  the  kingdom  of  heaven  is  ^as 
a  man  traveling  into  a  far  country,  who 
called  his  own  servants,  and  delivered 
unto  them  his  goods. 

15  And  unto  one  he  gave  five  talents, 
to  another  two,  and  to  another  one ;  <^to 
every  man  according  to  his  several 
ability ;  and  straightway  took  his 
journey. 

16  Then  he  that  had  received  the  five 
talents  went  and  traded  with  the  same, 
and  made  them  ^other  five  talents. 

17  And  likewise  he  that  had  received 
two,  he  also  gained  other  two. 

18  But  he  that  had  received  one  went 
and  digged  in  the  earth,  and  «hid  his 
lord's  money. 

1 9  After  a  long  time  the  lord  of  those 
servants  cometh,  and  reckoneth  with 
them. 

20  And  so  he  that  had  received  five 
talents  came  and  brought  other  five 
talents,  saying,  Lord,  thou  deliveredst 
unto  me  five  talents:  behold,  I  have 
gained  beside  them  five  talents  more. 

2 1  His  lord  said  unto  him,  Well  done, 
thou  good  and  faithful  servant:  thou 
hast  been  faithful  over  a  few  things,  /I 
will  make  thee  ruler  over  many  things : 
enter  thou  into  the  ^joy  of  thy  lord. 

22  He  also  that  had  received  two 
talents  came  and  said,  Lord,  thou  de- 
liveredst unto  me  two  talents:  behold, 
I  have  gained  two  other  talents  beside 
them.

Luke  19.  11  And  as  they  heard  these  things,

PAKABLE  OF  THE  FIVE  TALENTS. 
Third  Day  of  the  Week  of  our 

B 

Matt.21.  33  Hear  another  parable :  There  was 
a  certain  householder,  which  planted 
a  vineyard,  and  hedged  it  round  about, 
and  digged  a  winepress  in  it,  and 
built  a  tower,  and  let  it  out  to  hus- 
bandmen, and  went  into  a  far  country : 

Luke  19.  12  He  said  therefore,  A  certain  no- 
bleman went  into  a  far  country  to  re- 
ceive for  himself  a  kingdom,  and  to 
return. 

C 

Luke  19.  13  And  he  called  his  ten  servants, 
and  delivered  them  ten  pounds,  and 
said  unto  them,  Occupy  till  I  come. 

14  But  his  citizens  hated  him,  and 
sent  a  message  after  him,  saying,  We 
will  not  have  this  man  to  reign  over  us. 

Rom.l2.  6  Having  then  gifts  differing  accord- 
ing to  the  grace  that  is  given  to  us, 
whether  prophecy,  let  us  prophesy  ac- 
cording to  the  proportion  of  faith ; 

lCor.i2.  7  But  the  manifestation  of  the  Spirit 
is  given  to  every  man  to  profit  withal. 

ICor.l2.  11  But  all  these  worketh  that  one 
and  the  selfsame  Spirit,  dividing  to 
every  man  severally  as  he  will. 

ICor.l2.  29  Are  all  apostles?  are  all  proph- 
ets ?  are  all  teachers  ?  are  all  workers 
of  miracles? 

Eph.  4.    11  And  he  gave  some,  apostles ;  and 
some,  prophets;  and  some,  evangelists ; 
and  some,  pastors  and  teachers  ;

Prov.  3.  13  Happy  is  the  man  that  findeth 
wisdom,  and  the  man  that  getteth 
understanding : 

14  For  the  merchandise  of  it  is  better 
than  the  merchandise  of  silver,  and 

-  the  gain  thereof  than  fine  gold. 

1 5  She  is  more  precious  than  rubies : 
and  all  the  things  thou  canst  desire 
are  not  to  be  compared  unto  her. 

16  Length  of  days  is  in  her  right 
hand ;  and  in  her  left  hand  riches  and 
honour. 

17  Her  ways  are  ways  of  pleasant- 
ness, and  all  her  paths  are  peace. 

18  She  is  a  tree  of  life  to  them  that 
lay  hold  upon  her :  and  happy  is  every 
one  that  retaineth  her. 

19  The  Lord  by  wisdom  hath  found- 
ed the  earth ;  by  understanding  hath 
he  established  the  heavens. 

20  By  his  knowledge  the  depths  are 
broken  up,  and  the  clouds  drop  down

lion  in  the  way ;  a  lion  is  in  the  streets.

hinges,so  rfo^Athe  slothful  upon  his  bed. 

15  The  slothful  hideth  his  hand  in 
his  bosom ;  it  grieveth  him  to  bring  it 
again  to  his  mouth. 

16  The  sluggard  is  wiser  in  his  own 
conceit  than  seven  men  that  can  ren- 
der a  reason. 

Hag  1.  2  Thus  speaketh  the  Lord  of  hosts, 
saying.  This  people  say,  The  time  is  not 
come,  the  time  that  the  Lord's  house 
should  be  built. 

3  Then  came  the  word  of  the  Lord 
by  Haggai  the  prophet,  saying, 

4  Is  it  time  for  you,  O  ye,  to  dwell  in 
your  ceiled  houses,  and  this  house  lie 
waste? 

5  Now  therefore  thus  saith  the  Lord 
of  hosts  ;  Consider  your  ways. 

Mai.  1  10  Who  is  there  even  among  you  that 
would  shut  the  doors  for  nought?  nei- 
ther do  ye  kindle  fire  on  mine  altar  for 
nought.  I  have  no  pleasure  in  yon, 
saith  the  Lord  of  hosts,  neither  will  1 
accept  an  offering  at  your  hand. 

Luke  19.  20  And  another  came,  saying,  Lord, 
behold,  here  is  thy  pound,  which  I  have 
kept  laid  up  in  a  napkin ; 

Phil.  2.  21  For  all  seek  their  own,  not  the 
things  which  are  Jesus  Christ's. 

Heb.6.  12  That  ye  be  not  slothful,  but  fol- 
lowers of  them  who  through  faith  and 
patience  inherit  the  promises. 

II  Pet.l.  8  For  if  these  things  be  in  you,  and 
abound,  they  make  you  that  ye  shall 
neither  be  barren  nor  unfruitful  in  the 
knowledge  of  our  Lord  Jesus  Christ.

Matt.25.  46  And  these  shall  go  away  into

Luke  12.  44  Of  a  truth  I  say  unto  you,  that 
he  will  make  him  ruler  over  all  that 
he  hath. 

Luke  22.  29  And  I  appoint  unto  you  a  king-

unto  me ;

Ps.  16.  10  For  thou  wilt  not  leave  my  soul 
in  hell ;  neither  wilt  thou  suffer  thine 
Holy  One  to  see  corruption. 

11  Thou  wilt  show  me  the  path  of 
life:  in  thy  presence  ts  fulness  of  joy; 
at  thy  right  hand  there  are  pleasures 
for  evermore. 

John  17.  24  Father,  I  will  that  they  also, 
whom  thou  hast  given  me,  be  with  me 
where  I  am ;  that  they  may  behold 
my  glory,  which  thou  hast  given  me  : 
for  thou  lovedst  me  before  the  founda- 
tion of  the  world. 

Acts  2.  25  For  David  speaketh  concerning 
him,  I  foresaw  the  Lord  always  be- 
fore my  face ;  for  he  is  on  my  right 
hand,  that  I  should  not  be  moved : 

26  Therefore  did  my  heart  rejoice, 
and  my  tongue  was  glad;  moreover 
also  my  flesh  shall  rest  in  hope : 

27  Because  thou  wilt  not  leave  my 
soul  in  hell,  neither  wilt  thou  suffer 
thine  Holy  One  to  see  corruption. 

28  Thou  hast  made  known  to  me 
the  ways  of  life ;  thou  shalt  make  me 
full  of  joy  with  thy  countenance. 

Phil.  1.  23  For  I  am  in  a  strait  betwixt  two,

25  And  I  was  afraid,  and  went  and 
hid  thy  talent  in  the  earth :  lo,  there 
thou  hast  that  is  thine.  *

him.  Thou  wicked  and  slothful  servant, 
thou  knewest  that  I  reap  where  I  sowed 
not,  and  gather  where  I  have  not 
strewed : 

27  Thou  oughtest  therefore  to  have 
put  my  money  to  the  exchangers,  and 
theri  at  my  coming  I  should  have 
received  mine  own  with  usury. 

28  Take  therefore  the  talent  from 
him,  and  give  it  unto  him  which  hath 
ten  talents. 

29  *For  unto  every  one  that  hath 
shall  be  given,  and  he  shall  have 
abundance :  but  from  him  that  hath  not 
shall  be  taken  away  even  that  which

thou  also  over  five  cities. 

20  And  another  came,  saying,  Lord, 
behold,  here  is  thy  pound,  which  I 
have  kept  laid  up  in  a  napkin  : 

21  For  I  feared  thee,  because  thou 
art  an  austere  man;  thou  takest  up 
that  thou  layedst  not  down,  and  reap- 
est  that  thou  didst  not  sow. 

22  And  he  saith  unto  him,  Out  of 
thine  own  mouth  will  I  judge  thee, 

^  thou  wicked  servant.  Thou  knewest 
that  I  was  an  austere  man,  taking  up 
that  I  laid  not  down,  and  reaping  that 
I  did  not  sow : 

23  Wherefore  then  gavest  not  thou 
my  money  into  the  bank,  that  at  my 
coming  I  might  have  required  mine 
own  with  usury  ? 

24  And  he  said  unto  them  that  stood 
by.  Take  from  him  the  pound,  and 
give  it  to  him  that  hath  ten  pounds. 

25  (And  they  said  unto  him,  Lord, 
he  hath  ten  pounds.) 

26  For  I  say  unto  you,  That  unto 
every  one  which  hath  shall  be  given  ; 
and  from  him  that  hath  not,  even  that 
he  hath  shall  be  taken  away  from  him.

of  heaven,  and  to  pour  out  drink

we,  and  our  fathers,  our  kings,  and  our 
princes,  in  the  cities  of  Judah,  and  in 
the  streets  of  Jerusalem  :  for  then  had 
we  plenty  of  victuals,  and  were  well, 
and  saw  no  evil. 

18  But  since  we  left  off  to  burn  in-

your  ways  unequal  ? 

26  When  a  righteous  man  turneth 
away  from  his  righteousness,  and  com- 
mitteth  iniquity,  and  dieth  in  them ; 
for  his  iniquity  that  he  hath  done 
shall  he  die. 

27  Again,  when  the  wicked  man  turn- 
eth away  from  his  wickedness  that  lie 
hath  committed,  and  doeth  that  which 
is  lawful  and  right,  he  shall  save  his 
soul  alive. 

28  Because  he  considereth,  and  turn- 
eth away  from  all  his  transgressions 
that  he  hath  committed,  he  shall  surely 
live,  he  shall  not  die. 

29  Yet  saith  the  house  of  Israel,  The 
way  of  the  Lord  is  not  equal.  O  house 
of  Israel,  are  not  my  ways  equal  ?  are 
not  your  ways  unequal  ? 

30  Therefore  I  will  judge  you,  O 
house  of  Israel,  every  one  according  to 
his  Avays,  saith  the  Lord  God.  Repent, 
and  turn  yourselves  from  all  your  trans-

your  ruin.

Mark  8.  38  Whosoever  therefore  shall  be 
ashamed  of  me  and  of  my  words,  in 
this  adulterous  and  sinful  generation, 
of  him  also  shall  the  Son  of  man  be 
ashamed,  when  he  cometh  in  the  glory 
of  his  Father  with  the  holy  angels. 

Acts  1.  11  Which  also  said.  Ye  men  of  Gali- 
lee, why  stand  ye  gazing  up  into 
heaven?  this  same  Jesus,  which  is 
taken  up  from  you  into  heaven,  shall 
so  come  in  like  manner  as  ye  have 
seen  him  go  into  heaven. 

IThes.4.  16  For  the  Lord  himself  shall  de- 
scend from  heaven  with  a  shout,  with 
the  voice  of  the  archangel,  and  with 
the  trump  of  God:  and  the  dead  in 
Christ  shall  rise  first: 

II  Thes.l.  7  And  to  you  who  are  troubled  rest 
with  us,  when  the  Lord  Jesus  shall  be 
revealed  from  heaven  with  his  mighty 
angels, 

Phil.^2.  9  Wherefore  God  also  hath  highly 
exalted  him,  and  given  him  a  name 
which  is  above  every  name : 

10  That  at  the  name  of  Jesus  every 
knee  should  bow,  of  things  in  heaven, 
and  things  in  earth,  and  things  under 
the  earth: 

Heb.  9,  28  So  Christ  was  once  offered  to  bear 
the  sins  of  many ;  and  unto  them  that 
look  for  him  shall  he  appear  the  sec- 
ond time  without  sin  unto  salvation. 

Jude  14  And  Enoch  also,  the  seventh 
from  Adam,  prophesied  of  these,  say- 
ing, Behold,  the  Lord  cometh  with 
ten  thousand  of  his  saints. 

Rev.  y  7  Behold,  he  cometh  with  clouds ; 
^.•')d  every  eye  shall  see  him,  and  they 
also  which  pierced  him :  and  all  kin- 
dlivds  of  the  earth  shall  wail  because 
ol  him.  Even  so.  Amen. 
B 

Rom.lt  10  Cut  why  dost  thou  judge  thy 
brother?  or  why  dost  thou  set  at 
nought  thy  brother  ?  for  we  shall  all 
stand  before  thejudgment  seat  of  Christ. 

HCoy.5.  ]0  For  we  must  all  appear  before 
the  judgment  s*^at  of  Christ;  that 
every  one  may  receive  the  things  done 
in  his  body,  according  to  that  he  hath 
done,  whether  it  be  good  or  bad. 

Kev  20.  12  And  I  saw  the  dJ^ad,  small  and 
great,  stand  before  God;  and  the 
books  were  opened :  and  another  book 
was  opened,  which  is  the  bo»k  of  life : 
and  the  dead  were  judged  out  of  those 
things  which  were  written  in  the  bo»ks, 
according  to  their  works.

which  we  have  done,  but  according  to

the  Holy  Ghost ;

Eccl.  7.  20  For  there  is  not  a  just  man  upon 
earth,  that  doeth  good,  and  sinneth 
not. 

Matt.  6.  12  And  forgive  us  our  debts,  as  we 
forgive  our  debtors. 

Rom.  7.  20  Now  if  I  do  that  I  would  not,  it 
is  no  more  I  that  do  it,  but  sin  that 
dwelleth  in  me. 

21  I  find  then  a  law,,  that,  when  I 
would  do  good,  evil  is  present  with  me. 

22  For  I  delight  in  the  law  of  God 
after  the  inward  man : 

23  But  I  see  another  law  in  my  mem- 
bers, warring  against  the  law  of  my 
mind,  and  bringing  me  into  captivity 
to  the  law  of  sin  which  is  in  my  mem- 
bers. 

nCor.7.  1  Having  therefore  these  promises, 
dearly  beloved,  let  us  cleanse  ourselves 
from  all  filthiness  of  the  flesh  and 
spirit,  perfecting  holiness  in  the  fear 
of  God. 

Eph.  4.  22  That  ye  put  off  concerning  the 
former  conversation  the  old  man,  which 
is  corrupt  according  to  the  deceitful 
lusts ; 

23  And  be  renewed  in  the  spirit  of 
your  mind : 

24  And  that  ye  put  on  the  new  man, 
which  after  God  is  created  in  right- 
eousness and  true  holiness. 

Eph.  5.  26  That  he  might  sanctify  and  cleanse 
it  with  th  e  washing  of  water  by  the  word . 

J  Thes.  5.  21  Prove  all  things ;  hold  fast  that 
which  is  good. 

22  Abstain  from  all  appearance  of 
evil. 

23  And  the  very  God  of  peace  sanc- 
tify you  wholly,  and  I  pray  God  your 
whole  spirit  and  soul  and  body  be  pre- 
served blameless  unto  the  coming  of 
our  Lord  Jesus  Christ.

1  Now  "before  the  feast  of  the  pass- 
over,  when  Jesus  knew  that  ^his  hour 
was  come  that  he  should  depart  out  of 
this  world  unto  the  Father,  having 
loved  his  own  which  were  in  the  world, 
he  loved  them  unto  the  end. 

2  And  supper  being  ended,  ^the  devil 
having  now  put  into  the  heart  of  Judas 
Iscariot,  Simon's  so7i,  to  betray  him  ; 

3  Jesus  knowing  ^that  the  Father  had 
given  all  things  into  his  hands,  and 
^that  he  was  come  from  God,  and  went 
to  God ; 

4  /He  riseth  from  supper,  and  laid 
aside  his  garments,  and  took  a  towel, 
and  girded  himself. 

5  After  that  he  poureth  water  into  a 
basin,  and  began  to  wash  the  disciples' 
foet,  and  to  wipe  them  with  the  towel 
wherewith  he  was  girded. 

6  Then  cometh  he  to  Simon  Peter; 
and  -^Peter  saith  unto  him,  Lord,  ^dost 
thou  wash  my  feet  ? 

7  Jesus  answered  and  said  unto  him. 
What  I  do  thou  knowest  not  now ;  ''^but 
thou  shalt  know  hereafter. 

8  Peter  saith  unto  him,  Thou  shalt 
never  wash  my  feet.  Jesus  answered 
him,  *If  I  wash  thee  not,  thou  hast  no 
part  with  me. 

9  Simon  Peter  saith  unto  him,  Lord, 
not  my  feet  only,  but  also  my  hands 
and  my  head. 

10  Jesus  saith  to  him,  ^"He  that  is

feet,  but  is  clean  every  whit :  and  ^ye 
are  clean,  but  not  all.

in  a  fault,  ye  which  are  spiritual,  re-

be  subject  one  to  another,  and  be 
clothed  with  humility:  for  God  re- 
sisteth  the  proud,  and  giveth  grace  to 
the  humble.

Luke  6.  40  The  disciple  is  not  above  his  mas-

than  his  lord.  If  they  have  persecuted 
me,  they  will  also  persecute  you ;  if 
they  have  kept  my  saying,  they  will 
keep  yours  also. 

Jas.  1.  25  But  whoso  looketh  into  the  per- 
fect law  of  liberty,  and  continueth 
therein,  he  being  not  a  forgetful  hearer,

Ps.  19.  1 1  Moreover  by  them  is  thy  servant

2  Blessed  are  they  that  keep  his 
testimonies,  and  that  seek  him  with 
the  whole  heart. 

3  They  also  do  no  iniquity:  they 
walk  in  his  ways.

thy  precepts  diligently.

Matt.  7.  24  Therefore  whosoever  heareth 
these  sayings  of  mine,  and  doeth  them, 
I  will  liken  him  unto  a  wise  man, 
which  built  his  house  upon  a  rock : 

25  And  the  rain  descended,  and  the 
floods  came,  and  the  winds  blew,  and 
beat  upon  that  house ;  and  it  fell  not :

Heb.  11.  7  By  faith  Noah,  being  warned  of 
God  of  things  not  seen  as  yet,  moved 
with  fear,  prepared  an  ark  to  the  sav- 
ing of  his  house;  by  the  which  he 
condemned  the  world,  and  became 
heir  of  the  righteousness  which  is  by 
faith. 

8  By  faith  Abraham,  when  he  was 
called  to  go  out  into  a  place  which  he 
should  after  receive  for  an  inheritance, 
obeyed ;  and  he  went  out,  not  know-

Isaac  his  son  upon  the  altar  ? 

22  Seest  thou  how  faith  wrought  with 
his  works,  and  by  works  was  faith 
made  perfect  ?

and  it  was  imputed  unto  him  for  right-

13:  21-35. 
'When  Jesus  had  thus  said,  *he 
was  troubled  in   spirit,   and  testified, 
and  said.  Verily,  verily,  I  say  unto  you, 
^that  one  of  you  shall  betray  me. 

22  Then  the  disciples  looked  one  on 
another,  doubting  of  whom  he  spake. 

23  Now  ^there  was  leaning  on  Jesus' 
bosom  one  of  his  disciples,  whom  Jesus 
loved. 

24  Simon  Peter  therefore  beckoned 
to  him,  that  he  should  ask  who  it 
should  be  of  whom  he  spake. 

25  He  then  lying  on  Jesus'  breast 
saith  unto  him.  Lord,  who  is  it?

were  not  of  us ;  for  if  they  had  been  of

tinued with  us :  but  they  went  out,  that 
they  might  be  made  manifest  that 
they  were  not  all  of  us.

John  19.  26  When  Jesus  therefore  saw  his 
mother,  and  the  disciple  standing  by, 
whom  he  loved,  he  saith  unto  his 
mother.  Woman,  behold  thy  son  I 

John  20.  2  Then  she  runneth,  and  cometh  to 
Simon  Peter,  and  to  the  other  disciple, 
whom  Jesus  loved,  and  saith  unto 
them,  They  have  taken  away  the  Lord 
out  of  the  sepulchre,  and  we  know  not 
where  they  have  laid  him. 

John  21.  7  Therefore  that  disciple  whom  Jesus 
loved  saith  unto  Peter,  It  is  the  Lord. 
Now  when  Simon  Peter  heard  that  it 
was  the  Lord,  he  girt  his  fisher's  coat 
tinto  him,  (for  he  was  naked,)  and  did 
cast  himself  into  the  sea. 

John  21.  20  Then  Peter,  turning  about,  seeth 
the  disciple  whom  Jesus  loved  follow- 
ing ;  which  also  leaned  on  his  breast 
at  supper,  and  said,  Lord,  which  is  he 
that  betrayeth  thee? 

John2L  24  This  is  the  disciple  which  testi-

things:  and  we  know  that  his  testi-

John  8.    21  Then  said  Jesus  again  unto  them, 
I  go  my  way,  and  ye  shall  seek  me, 
and  shall  die  in  your  sins :  whither  I 
go,  ye  cannot  come.

Lev.  19.  18  Thou  shalt  not  avenge,  nor  bear 
any  grudge  against  the  children 
of  thy  people,  but  thou  shalt  love  thy 
neighbor  as  thyself:  I  am  the  Lord. 

John  15.  12  This  is  my  commandment,  That 
ye  love  one  another,  as  I  have  loved 
you. 

John  15.  17  These  things  I  command  you, 
that  ye  love  one  another. 

Eph.  5.  2  And  walk  in  love,  as  Christ  also 
hath  loved  us,  and  hath  given  him- 
self for  us  an  offering  and  a  sacrifice 
to  God  for  a  sweetsmelling  savour. 

I  Thes.4.  9  But  as  touching  brotherly  love  ye 
need  not  that  I  write  unto  you  for  ye 
yourselves  are  taught  of  God  to  love 
one  another. 

Jas.  2.  8  If  ye  fulfil  the  royal  law  accord- 
ing to  the  Scripture,  Thou  shalt  love 
thy  neighbour  as  thyself,  ye  do  well : 

I  Pet.  1.  22  Seeing  ye  have  purified  your 
souls  in  obeying  the  truth  through  the 
Spirit  unto  unfeigned  love  of  the 
brethren,  see  that  ye  love  one  another 
with  a  pure  heart  fervently : 

I  Jno.  2.  7  Brethren,  I  write  no  new  com- 
mandment unto  you,  but  an  old  com- 
mandment which  ye  had  from  the  be- 
ginning. The  old  commandment  is 
the  word  which  ye  have  heard  from  the 
beginning. 

8  Again,  a  new  commandment  I 
write  unto  you,  which  thing  is  true  in 
him  and  in  you  :  because  the  darkness 
is  past,  and  the  true  light  now  shineth. 

I  Jno.  3.  11  For  this  is  the  message  that  ye 
heard  from  the  beginning,  that  we 
should  love  one  another. 

I  Jno.  3.  23  And  this  is  his  commandment. 
That  we  should  believe  on  the  name 
of  his  Son  Jesus  Christ,  and  love  one 
another,  as  he  gave  us  commandment. 

I  Jno.  4.  21  And  this  commandment  have  we 
from  him.  That  he  who  loveth  God 
love  his  brother  also. 
Z 

I  Jno.  2.  5  But  whoso  keepeth  his  word,  in 
him  verily  is  the  love  of  God  perfect-

26  Jesus  answered.  He  it  is,  to  whom 
I  shall  give  a  sop,  when  I  have  dipped 
it  And  when  he  had  dipped  the  ^sop, 
he  gave  it  to  Judas  Iscariot,  the  son  of 
Simon. 

27  »^And  after  the  sop  Satan  entered 
into  him.  Then  said  Jesus  unto  him, 
''That  thou  doest,  do  quickly. 

28  Now  no  man  at  the  table  knew  for 
what  intent  he  spake  this  unto  him. 

29  For  some  of  them  thought,  because 
i' Judas  had  the  bag,  that  Jesus  had 
said  unto  him,  Buy  those  things  that  we 
have  need  of  against  the  feast ;  or,  that 
he  should  give  something  to  the  poor. 

30  He  then,  having  received  the  sop, 
went  immediately  out ;  and  it  was 
night. 

31  Therefore,  when  he  was  gone  out, 
Jesus  said,  ^Now  is  the  Son  of  man 
glorified,  and  ^God  is  glorified  in  him. 

32  ^If  God  be  glorified  in  him,  God 
shall  also  glorify  him  in  himself,  and 
''shall  straightway  glorify  him.

I  go,  ye  cannot  come  ;  so  now  I  say  to 
you.

you,  That  ye  love  one  another  ;  as  I

purifying  of  the  flesh ;

strength,  and  his  wonderful  works 
that  he  hath  done. 

5  For  he  established  a  testimony  in 
Jacob,  and  appointed  a  law  in  Israel, 
which  he  commanded  our  fathers,  that 
they  should  make  them  known  to 
their  children :

know  them,  even  the  children  which 
should  be  born ;  who  should  arise  and

excellent  ministry,  by  how  much  also 
he  is  the  mediator  of  a  better  cove- 
nant, which  was  established  upon 
better  promises. 

7  For  if  that  first  covenant  had  been 
faultless,  then  should  no  place  have 
been  sought  for  the  second. 

8  For  finding  fault  with  them,  he 
saith,  Behold,  the  days  come,  saith  the 
Lord,  when  I  will  make  a  new  cove- 
nant with  the  house  of  Israel  and  with 
the  house  of  Judah: 

9  Not  according  to  the  covenant  that 
I  made  with  their  fathers  in  the  day 
when  I  took  them  by  the  hand  to  lead 
them  out  of  the  land  of  Egypt;  be- 
cause they  continued  not  in  my  cove- 
nant, and  I  regarded  them  not,  saith 
the  Lord. 

10  For  this  is  the  covenant  that  I 
will  make  with  the  house  of  Israel 
after  those  days,  saith  the  Lord;  J 
will  put  my  laws  into  their  mind,  and 
write  them  in  their  hearts:  and  I  will 
be  to  them  a  God,  and  they  shall  be  to 
me  a  people: 

11  And  they  shall  not  teach  every 
man  his  neighbour,  and  every  man 
his  brother,  saying.  Know  the  Lord : 
for  all  shall  know  me,  from  the  least 
to  the  greatest. 

12  For  I  will  be  merciful  to  their  un- 
righteousness, and  their  sins  and  their 
iniquities  will  I  remember  no  more. 

13  In  that  he  saith,  A  new  covenant, 
he  hath  made  the  first  old.  Now  that 
which  decayeth  and  waxeth  old  u 
ready  to  vanish  away. 

Heb.  9.  17  For  a  testament  is  of  force  after 
men  are  dead:  otherwise  it  is  of  no 
strength  at  all  while  the  testator  liveth. 

Heb.  12.  24  And  to  Jesus  the  mediator  of  the 
new  covenant,  and  to  the  blood  of 
sprinkling,  that  speaketh  better  things 
than  that  of  Abel.

they  came  out,  they  might  have  had 
opportunity  to  have  returned.

country,  that  is,  a  heavenly :  wherefore 
God  is  not  ashamed  to  be  called  their 
God :  for  he  hath  prepared  for  them  a 
city.

Mark  16.  17  And  these  signs  shall  follow  them 
that  believe ;  In  my  name  shall  they 
cast  out  devils ;  they  shall  speak  with 
new  tongues ;

Mark  11.  24  Therefore  I  say  unto  you,  What 
things  soever  ye  desire,  when  ye  pray, 
believe  that  ye  receive  them,  and  ye 
shall  have  them. 

Luke  11.  9  And  I  say  unto  you.  Ask,  and  it 
shall  be  given  you ;  seek,  and  ye  shall

John  15.  7  If  ye  abide  in  me,  and  my  words 
abide  in  you,  ye  shall  ask  what  ye 
Avill,  and  it  shall  be  done  unto  you. 

John  15.  16  Ye  have  not  chosen  me,  but  I 
have  chosen  you,  and  ordained  you, 
that  ye  should  go  and  bring  forth 
fruit,  and  that  your  fruit  should  re- 
main ;  that  whatsoever  ye  shall  ask  of 
the  Father  in  my  name,  he  may  give 
it  you. 

John  16.  23  And  in  that  day  ye  shall  ask  me 
nothing.  Verily,  verily,  I  say  unto 
you.  Whatsoever  ye  shall  ask  the 
Father  in  my  name,  he  will  give  it

John  15.  14  Ye  are  my  friends,  if  ye  do 
whatsoever  I  command  you.

whom  I  will  send  unto  you  from  the 
Father,  even  the  Spirit  of  truth,  which 
proceedeth  from  the  Father,  he  shall 
testify  of  me : 

John  16.  7  Nevertheless  I  tell  you  the  trutli ; 
It  is  expedient  for  you  that  I  go  away  • 
for  if  I  go  not  away,  the  Comforte/ 
will  not  come  unto  you ;  but  if  I  de- 
part, I  will  send  him  imto  you. 

Rom.  8.  15  For  ye  have  not  received  the 
spirit  of  bondage  again  to  fear ;  but  ye 
have  received  the  Spirit  of  adoption, 
whereby  we  cry,  Abba,  Father. 

Rom.  8.  26  Likewise  the  Spirit  also  helpeth 
our  infirmities :  for  we  know  not  what 
we  should  pray  for  as  we  ought :  but 
the  Spirit  itself  maketh  intercession 
for  us  with  groanings  which  cannot  be 
uttered.

all  truth :  for  he  shall  not  speak  of 
himself ;  but  whatsoever  he  shall  hear, 
that  shall  he  speak:  and  he  will  she  ,v 
you  things  to  come. 

I  Jno.  2.  27  But  the  anointing  which  ye  have 
received  of  him  abideth  in  you,  and 
ye  need  not  that  any  man  teach  you :

you  of  all  things,  and  is  truth,  and  is 
no  lie,  and  even  as  it  hath  taught  you, 
ye  shall  abide  in  him.

heareth  not  us.  Hereby  know  we  the 
spirit  of  truth,  and  the  spirit  of  error.

13  ^Greater  love  hath  no  man  than 
this,  that  a  man  lay  down  his  life  for 
his  friends. 

14  ^Ye  are  my  friends,  if  ye  do  what- 
soever I  command  you. 

15  Henceforth  I  call  you  not  serv- 
ants ;  for  the  servant  knoweth  not  what 
his  lord  doeth  :  but  I  have  called  you 
friends;  ^for  all  things  that  I  have 
heard  of  my  Father  I  have  made  known 
unto  you. 

16  *Ye  have  not  chosen  me,  but  I  have 
chosen  you,  and  -^ordained  you,  that  ye 
should  go  and  bring  forth  fruit,  and 
that  your  fruit  should  remain;  that 
^whatsoever  ye  shall  ask  of  the  Father 
in  my  name,  he  may  give  it  you. 

1 7  ^These  things  I  command  you,  that 
ye  love  one  another. 

18  *If  the  world  hate  you,  ye  know 
that  it  hated  me  before  it  hated  you. 

19  *If  ye  were  of  the  world,  the  world 
would  love  his  own ;  but  because  ye 
are  not  of  the  world,  but  I  have  chosen 
you  out  of  the  world,  therefore  the 
world  hateth  you. 

20  Remember  the  word  that  I  said 
unto  you,  "*The  servant  is  not  greater 
than  his  lord.  If  they  have  persecuted 
me,  they  will  also  persecute  you;  "if 
they  have  kept  my  saying,  they  will 
keep  yours  also. 

21  But  ^all  these  things  will  they  do

that  thou  doest,  except  God  be  with 
him. 

John  7.  31  And  many  of  the  people  believed

John  9.  22  These  words  spake  his  parents, 
because  they  feared  the  Jews  :  for  the 
Jews  had  agreed  already,  that  if  any 
man  did  confess  that  he  was  Christ,  he 
should  be  put  out  of  the  synagogue. 

John  9.  34  They  answered  and  said  unto

they  cast  him  out.

John  14.  26  But  the  Comforter,  which  is  the 
Holy  Ghost,  whom  the  Father  will 
send  in  my  name,  he  shall  teach  you 
all  things,  and  bring  all  things  to  your 
remembrance,  whatsoever  I  have  said 
unto  you. 

John  16.  7  Nevertheless  I  tell  you  the  truth  ; 
It  is  expedient  for  you  that  I  go  away  : 
for  if  I  go  not  away,  the  Comforter 
will  not  come  unto  you ;  but  if  I  de- 
part, I  will  send  him  unto  you. 

John  16.  13  Howbeitwhen  he,  the  Spirit  of 
truth,  is  come,  he  will  guide  you  into 
all  truth:  for  he  shall  not  speak  of 
himself;  but  whatsoever  he  shall  hear, 
that  shall  he  speak :  and  he  will  show 
you  things  to  come. 

Acts  2.  33  Therefore  being  by  the  right

Jer.  31 


11  Thou  hast  turned  for  me  my 
mourning  into  dancing  :  thou  hast  put 
off  my  sackcloth,  and  girded  me  with 
gladness ; 

1  I  waited  patiently  for  the  Lord  ; 
and  he  inclined  unto  me,  and  heard 
my  cry. 

2  He  brought  me  up  also  out  of  a 
horrible  pit,  out  of  the  miry  clay,  and 
set  my  feet  upon  a  rock,  and  es- 
tablished my  goings. 

3  And  he  hath  put  a  new  song  in 
my  mouth,  even  praise  unto  our  God : 
many  shall  see  it,  and  fear,  and  shall 
trust  in  the  Lord. 

11  Light  is  sown  for  the  righteous, 
and  gladness  for  the  upright  in  heart. 

5  They  that  sow  in  tears  shall  reap 
in  joy. 

6  He  that  goeth  forth  and  weepeth, 
bearing  precious  seed,  shall  doubtless 
come  again  with  rejoicing,  bringing 
his  sheaves  with  him. 

1  And  in  that  day  thou  shalt  say,  O 
Lord,  I  will  praise  thee :  though  thou 
wast  angry  with  me,  thine  anger  is 
turned  away,  and  thou  comfortedst  me. 

8  He  will  swallow  up  death  in  vic- 
tory; and  the  Lord  God  will  wipe 
away  tears  from  off  all  faces ;  and  the 
rebuke  of  his  people  shall  he  take 
away  from  off  all  the  earth :  for  the 
Lord  hath  spoken  it. 

9  And  it  shall  be  said  in  that  day, 
Lo,  this  is  our  God ;  we  have  waited 
for  him,  and  he  will  save  us :  this  is 
the  Lord  ;  we  have  waited  for  him,  we 
will  be  glad  and  rejoice  in  his  salvation. 

3  To  appoint  unto  them  that  mourn 
in  Zion,  to  give  unto  them  beauty  for 
ashes,  the  oil  of  joy  for  mourning,  the 
garment  of  praise  for  the  spirit  of 
heaviness ;  that  they  might  be  called 
Trees  of  righteousness.  The  planting 
of  the  Lord,  that  he  might  be  glorified. 

5  Hear  the  word  of  the  Lord,  ye 
that  tremble  at  his  word, ;  Your  breth- 
ren that  hated  you,  that  cast  you  out 
for  my  name's  sake,  said.  Let  the 
Lord  be  glorified :  but  he  shall  appear 
to  your  joy,  and  they  shall  be  ashamed, 

9  They  shall  come  with  weeping, 
and  with  supplications  will  I  lead 
them :  1  will  cause  them  to  walk  by 
the  rivers  of  waters  in  a  straight  way, 
wherein  they  shall  not  stumble :  for  I 
am  a  father  to  Israel,  and  Ephraim  is 
my  first-born.

Jer.  31.  10  Hear  the  word  of  the  Lord,  O 
ye  nations,  and  declare  it  in  the  isles 
afar  off,  and  say.  He  that  scattered 
Israel  will  gather  him,  and  keep  him, 
as  a  shepherd  doth  his  flock. 

11  For  the  Lord  hath  redeemed 
Jacob,  and  ransomed  him  from  the 
hand  of  him  that  was  stronger  than  .be. 

12  Therefore  they  shall  come  ajid 
sing  in  the  height  of  Zion,  and  shall 
flow  together  to  the  goodness  of  the 
Lord,  for  wheat,  and  for  wine,  and  for 
oil,  and  for  the  young  of  the  flock  and 
of  the  herd :  and  their  soul  shall  be 
as  a  watered  garden ;  and  they  shall 
not  sorrow  any  more  at  all. 

13  Then  shall  the  virgin  rejoice  in 
thte  dance,  both  young  men  and  old 
together :  for  I  will  turn  their  mourn- 
ing into  joy,  and  will  comfort  them, 
and  make  them  rejoice  from  their 
sorrow. 

14  And  I  will  satiate  the  soul  of  the 
priests  with  fatness,  and  my  people 
shall  be  satisfied  with  my  goodness, 
saith  the  Lord. 

Jer.  31.  25  For  I  have  satiated  the  weary 
soul,  and  I  have  replenished  every 
sorrowful  soul. 

Matt.  5.  4  Blessed  are  they  that  mourn :  for 
they  shall  be  comforted. 

Acts  2.  47  Praising  God,  and  having  favour 
with  all  the  people.  And  the  Lord 
added  to  the  church  daily  such  as 
should  be  saved. 

Acts  5.  41  And  they  departed  from  the  pres- 
ence of  the  council,  rejoicing  that 
they  were  counted  worthy  to  suffer 
shame  for  his  name. 

Rom.  5.  2  By  whom  also  we  have  access  by 
faith  into  this  grace  wherein  we  stand, 
and  rejoice  in  hope  of  the  glory  of  God. 
3  And  not  only  so,  but  we  glory  in 
tribulations  also  ;  knowing  that  tribu-

Isa.  26.  17  Like  as  a  woman  with  child,  that 
draweth  near  the  time  of  her  delivery, 
is  in  pain,  and  crieth  out  in  her  pangs ; , 
so  have  we  been  in  thy  sight,  O  Lord. 

Hos.  13.  13  The  sorrows  of  a  travailing  wo- 
man shall  come  upon  him :  he  is  an 
unwise  son ;  for  he  should  not  stay 
long  in  the  'place  of  the  breaking  forth 
of  children. 

14  I  will  ransom  them  from  the 
power  of  the  grave;  I  will  redeem 
them  from  death :  O  death,  I  will  be 
thy  plagues;  O  grave,  I  will  be  thy 
destruction :  repentance  shall  be  hid 
from  mine  eyes.

John  16.  6  But  because  I  have  said  these

Luke  24.  41  And  while  they  yet  believed  not 
for  joy,  and  wondered,  he  said  unto 
them,  Have  ye  here  any  meat  ? 

Luke  24.  52  And  they  worshipped  him,  and 
returned  to  Jerusalem  with  great  joy  ; 

John  14.  1  Let  not  your  heart  be  troubled:  ye 
believe  in  God,  believe  also  in  me. 

John  14.  27  Peace  I  leave  with  you,  my  peace 
1  give  unto  you:  not  as  the  world 
giveth,  give  I  unto  you.  Let  not  your 
heart  be  troubled,  neither  let  it  be 
afraid. 

John  20.  20  And  when  he  had  so  said,  he 
showed  unto  them  his  hands  and  his 
side.  Then  were  the  disciples  glad, 
when  they  saw  the  Lord. 

Acts  2.  46  And  they,  continuing  daily  with 
one  accord  in  the  temple,  and  break-

17  Then  said  some  of  his  disciples 
among  themselves,  What  is  this  that  he 
saith  unto  us,  A  little  while,  and  ye 
shall  not  see  me :  and  again,  a  little 
while,  and  ye  shall  see  me  :  and.  Be- 
cause I  go  to  ths  Father  ? 

18  They  said  therefore.  What  is  this 
that  he  saith,  A  little  while  ?  we  cannot 
tell  what  he  saith. 

19  Now  Jesus  knew  that  they  were 
desirous  to  ask  him,  and  said  unto  them, 
Do  ye  inquire  among  yourselves  of 
that  I  said,  A  little  while,  and  ye  shall 
not  see  me :  and  again,  a  little  while, 
and  ye  shall  see  me  ? 

20  Verily,  verily,  I  say  unto  you. 
That  ye  shall  weep  and  lament,  but  the 
world  shall  rejoice  ;  and  ye  shall  be 
sorrowful,  but  "your  sorrow  shall  be 
turned  into  joy. 

21  *  A  woman  when  she  is  in  travail 
hath  sorrow,  because  her  hour  is  come ; 
but  as  soon  as  she  is  delivered  of  the 
child,  she  remembereth  no  more  the 
anguish,  for  joy  that  a  man  is  born  into 
the  world. 

22  ^And  ye  now  therefore  have  sor- 
row :  but  I  will  see  you  again,  and 
^your  heart  shall  rejoice,  and  your  joy 
no  man  taketh  from  you. 

23  And  in  that  day  ye  shall  ask  me 

nothing.     ^Verily,  verily,  I  say  unto 

you.    Whatsoever    ye    shall    ask   the

knoweth  me,  that  I  am  the  Lord 
which  exercise  loving-kindness,  judg- 
ment, and  righteousness,  in  the  earth  : 
for  in  these  things  I  delight,  saith  the 
Lord. 

E 

I  Cor.  h  4  AS  concerning  therefore  the  eating 
of  those  things  that  are  offered  in  sac- 
rifice unto  idols,  we  know  that  an  idol 
is  nothing  in  the  world,  and  that  there 
is  none  other  God  but  one. 

I  Thes.!.  9  For  they  themselves  •show  of  us 
what  manner  of  entering  in  we  had 
unto  you,  and  how  ye  turned  to  God 
from  idols  to  serve  the  living  and  true 
God; 

F 

John  8.  34  For  he  whom  God  hath  sent  speak- 
eth  the  words  of  God  :  for  God  giveth 
not  the  Spirit  by  measure  unto  him. 

John  6.  36  But  I  have  greater  witness  than 
that  of  John :  for  the  works  which  the 
Father  hath  given  me  to  finish,  the 
same  works  that  I  do,  bear  witness  of 
me,  that  the  Father  hath  sent  me. 

37  And  the  Father  himself,  which 
hath  sent  me,  hath  borne  witness  of 
me.  Ye  have  neither  heard  his  voice 
at  any  time,  nor  seen  his  shape. 

John  6.  29  Jesus  answered  and  said  unto 
them.  This  is  the  work  of  God,  that 
ye  believe  on  him  whom  he  hath  sent. 

John  6.  57  As  the  living  Father  hath  sent 
me,  and  I  live  by  the  Father;  so  he 
tliat  eateth  me,   even  he  shall  live 
•    by  me. 

John  7.  29  But  I  know  him  ;  for  I  am  from 
him,  and  he  hath  sent  me. 

John  10.  36  Say  ye  of  him,  whom  the  Father 
hath  sanctified,  and  sent  into  the 
world,  Thou  blasphemest;  because  I 
said,  I  am  the  Son  of  God  ? 

John  11.  42  And  I  knew  that  thou  hearest  me 

always:    but  because  of  the  people 

which  stand  by  I  said  it,  that  they 

may  believe  that  thou  hast  sent  me. 

G 

John  13.  31  Therefore,  when  he  was  gone  out, 
Jesus  said,  Now  is  the  Son  of  man 
glorified,  and  God  is  glorified  in  him. 

John  14.  13  And  whatsoever  ye  shall  ask  in 
my  name,  that  will  I  do,  that  the  Father 
may  be  glorified  in  the  Son. 
H 

John  4.  34  Jesus  saith  unto  them,  My  meat 
is  to  do  the  will  of  him  that  sent  me, 
and  to  finish  his  work. 

John  5.  36.    See  under  F. 


John  12.  23  And  Jesus  answered  them,  saying. 
The  hour  is  come,  that  the  Son  of 
man  should  be  glorified. 

John  13.  32  If  God  be  glorified  in  him,  God 
shall  also  glorify  him  in  himself,  and 
shall  straightway  glorify  him. 

Dan,  7.  14  And  there  was  given  him  domin- 
ion, and  glory,  and  a  kingdom,  that 
all  people,  nations,  and  languages, 
should  serve  him  •  his  dominion  is 
an  everlasting  ^ominion,  which  shall 
not  pass  away,  and  his  kingdom  that 
which  shall  not  be  destroyed.'' 

Matt.il.  27  All  things  are  delivered  unto  me 
of  my  Father:  and  no  man  knoweth 
the  Son,  but  the  Father ;  neither 
knoweth  any  man  the  Father,  save  the 
Son,  and  he  to  whomsoever  the  Son 
will  reveal  him. 

Matt.28  18  A.nd  Jesus  came  and  spake  unto 
tnem,  saying,  All  power  is  given  unto 
me  in  heaven  and  in  earth. 

John  3.  35  The  Father  loveth  the  Son,  and 
hath  given  all  things  into  his  hand. 

John  5^  27  And  hath  given  him  authority  to 
execute  judgment  also,  because  he  is 
the  Son  of  man. 

lCor.i5.  26  For  he  must  reign,  till  he  hath  put 
all  enemies  under  his  feet. 

'ICor.l5.  27  For  he  hath  put  all  things  under 
his  feet.  But  when  he  saith.  All 
things  are  put  under  him^  it  is  mani- 
fest that  he  is  excepted,  which  did 
put  all  things  under  him. 

Phil.  2.  10  That  at  the  name  of  Jesus  every 
knee  should  bow,  of  things  in  heaven, 
and  things  in  earth,  and  things  under 
the  earth ; 

Heb.2.  ^  8  Thou  hast  put  all  things  in  sub- 
jection under  his  feet.  For  in  that  he 
put  all  in  subjection  under  him,  he 
left  nothing  that  is  not  put  under  him. 
But  now  we  see  not  yet  all  things  put 
under  him.

John  9.  3  Jesus  answered,  Neither  hath  this 
man  sinned,  nor  his  parents :  but  that 
the  works  of  God  should  be  made 
manifest  in  him. 

John  19.  30  When  Jesus  therefore  had  re- 
ceived the  vinegar,  he  said,  It  is  fin- 
ished: and  he  bowed  his  head,  and 
gave  up  the  ghost. 

John  14.  31  But  that  the  world  may  know  that

gave  me  commandment,  even  so  I  do. 
Arise,  let  us  go  hence. 

John  15.  10  If  ye  keep  my  commandments,  ye 
shall  abide  in  my  love ;  even  as  I  have

John  1.  1  In  the  beginning  was  the  Word, 
and  the  Word  was  with  God,  and  the 
Word  was  God. 

2  The  same  was  in  the  beginning

John  10.  30  I  and  my  Father  are  one. 

John  14.  9  Jesus  saith  unto  him.  Have  I  been 
so  long  time  with  you,  and  yet  hast 
thou  not  known  me,  Philip  ?  he  that 
hath  seen  me  hath  seen  the  Father ; 
and  how  sayest  thou  then^  Show  us  the 
Father.'? 

Phil.  2.  6  Who,  being  in  the  form  of  God,

Col.  1.  17  And  he  is  before  all  things,  and

the  word  of  his  power,  when  he  had 
by  himself  purged  our  sins,  sat  down  on 
the  right  hand  of  the  Majesty  on  high  ; 

Heb.  L  10  And,  Thou,  Lord,  in  the  begin-

1  These  words  spake  Jesus,  and  lifted 
up  his  eyes  to  heaven,  and  said,  Father, 
"the  hour  is  come ;  glorify  thy  Son,  that 
thy  Son  also  may  glorify  thee : 

2  *As  thou  bast  given  him  power  over 
all  flesh,  that  he  should  give  eternal 
life  to  ^as  many  as  thou  hast  given  him. 

3  And  <^this  is  life  eternal,  that  they 
might  know  thee  nhe  only  true  God,

4  ^I  have  glorified  thee  on  the  earth : 
^I  have  finished  the  work  %hich  thou 
gavest  me  to  do. 

5  And  now,  O  Father,  glorify  thou 
me  with  thine  own  self  with  the  glory 
*which  I  had  with  thee  before  the  world 
was. 

6  ^I  have  manifested  thy  name  unto 
the  men  "^which  thou  gavest  me  out  of 
the  world :  thine  they  were,  and  thou 
gavest  them  me  ;  and  they  have  kept 
thy  word.

John  6.  37  All  that  the  Father  giveth  me 
shall  come  to  me ;  and  him  that  cometh 
to  me  I  will  in  no  wise  cast  out. 

John  6.  39  And  this  is  the  Father's  will 
which  hath  sent  me,  that  of  ail  which 
he  hath  given  me  I  should  lose  noth- 
ing, but  should  raise  it  up  again  at

John  10.^  29  My  Father,  which  gave  them  me, 
is  greater  than  all ;  and  no  vian  is  able 
to  pluck  them  out  of  my  Father's

world  would  love  his  own;  but  be- 
cause ye  are  not  of  the  world,  but  I 
have  chosen  you  out  of  the  world,

ye  have  lifted  up  the  Son  of  man,  then 
shall  ye  know  that  I  am  he,  and  that  I 
do  nothing  of  myself ;  but  as  my  Father 
hath  taught  me,  I  speak  these  things. 

John  12.  49  For  I  have  not  spoken  of  myself ; 
but  the  Father  which  sent  me,  he  gave 
me  a  commandment,  what  I  should 
say,  and  what  I  should  speak. 

John  14.  10  Belie  vest  thou  not  that  I  am  in 
the  Father,  and  the  Father  in  me? 
the  words  that  I  speak  unto  you  I 
speak  not  of  myself:  but  the  Father 
that  dwelleth  in  me,  he  doeth  the 
works. 

O 

John  16.  27  For  the  Father  himself  loveth 
you,  because  ye  have  loved  me,  and 
have  believed  that  I  came  out  from 
God. 

John  16,  30  Now  are  we  sure  that  thou  know- 
est  all  things,  and  needest  not  that  any 
man  should  ask  thee :  by  this  we  be-

are  not  of  this  fold  :  them  also  I  must 
bring,  and  they  shall  hear  my  voice ; 
and  there  shall  be  one  fold,  and  one 
shepherd. 

John  17.  11,  22,  23.  See  text  of  topic. 

Rom.i2.  5  So  we,  being  many,  are  one  body 
in  Christ,  and  every  one  members  one 
of  another. 

I  Cor.  1.  10  Now  I  beseech  you,  brethren,  by 
the  name  of  our  Lord  Jesus  Christ, 
that  ye  all  speak  the  same  thing,  and 
that  there  be  no  divisions  among  you  ; 
but  that  ye  be  perfectly  joined  together 
in  the  same  mind  and  in  the  same 
judgment. 

Ga,l.  3.     28  There  is  neither  Jew  nor  Greek, 
there  is  neither  bond  nor  free,  there  is 
neither  male  nor  female :  for  ye  are 
all  one  in  Christ  Jesus. 
P 

John  10.  38  But  if  I  do,  though  ye  believe  not 
me,  believe  the  works:  that  ye  may 
know,  and  believe,  that  the  Father  is 
in  me,  and  I  in  him. 

John  14.  11  Believe  me  that  I  am  in  the 
Father,  and  the  Father  in  me  :  or  else 
believe  me  for  the  very  works'  sake. 

Phil.  2.  6  Who,  being  in  the  form  of  God, 
thought  it  not  robbery  to  be  equal 
with  God : 

I  Jno.  5.  7  For  there  are  three  that  bear  rec- 
ord in  heaven,  the  Father,  the  Word, 
and  the  Holy  Ghost :  and  these  three 
are  one. 

Q 

John  14.  20  At  that  day  ye  shall  know  that  I 
'  am  in  my  Father,  and  ye  in  me,  and  I 
in  you. 

IJno.  1.  3  That  which  we  have  seen  and 
heard  declare  we  unto  you,  that  ye 
also  may  have  fellowship  with  us: 
and  truly  our  fellowship  is  with  the 
Father,  and  with  his  Son  Jesus  Christ. 

I  Jno.  3.  24  And  he  that  keepeth  his  com- 
mandments dwelleth  in  him,  and  he 
in  him.  And  hereby  we  know  that 
he  abideth  in  us,  by  the  Spirit  which 
he  hath  given  us. 

R 

Col.  3.  14  And  above  all  these  things  put  on 
charity,  which  is  the  bond  of  perfect- 
ness. 

Het.  12.  23  To  the  general  assembly  and 
church  of  the  first-born,  which  are 
written  in  heaven,  and  to  God  the 
Judge  of  all,  and  to  the  spirits  of  just 
men  made  perfect. 


John  15.  3  Now  ye  are    clean  through  the 

word  which  I  have  spoken  unto  you. 
Acts  15.  9  And  put  no  difference  between  us 

and   them,  purifying  their  hearts  by 

faith. 
Eph.  5,    26  That    he     might     sanctify     and 

cleanse  it  with  the  washing  of  water 

by  the  word. 

I  Pet.  1.  22  Seeing  ye  have  purified  your  souls 

in  obeying  the  truth  through  the  Spirit 
unto  unfeigned  love  of  the  brethren, 
see  that  ye  love  one  another  with  a 
pure  heart  fervently : 
K 

II  Sa  7.  28  And  now,  O  Lord  God,  thou  art 

that  God,  and  thy  words  be  true,  and 
thou  hast  promised  this  goodness  unto 
thy  servant: 

Ps.  119.  142  Thy  righteousness  is  an  everlast- 
ing righteousness,  and  thy  law  is  the 
truth. 

Ps.  119.  151  Thou  art  near,  O  Lord  ;  and  all 
thy  commandments  are  truth. 

John  8.  40  But  now  ye  seek  to  kill  me,  a 
man  that  hath  told  you  the  truth, 
which  I  have  heard  of  God :  this  did 
not  Abraham. 

L 

John  20.  21  Then  said  Jesus  to  them  again. 
Peace  be  unto  you :  as  my  Father  hath 
sent  me,  even  so  send  I  you.

all  that  in  every  place  call  upon  the 
name  of  Jesus  Christ  our  Lord,  both 
theirs  and  ours : 

I  Cor.  1.  30  But  of  him  are  ye  in  Christ  Jesus, 
who  of  God  is  made  unto  us  wisdom, 
and  righteousness,  and  sanctification, 
and  redemption : 

lThes.4.  7  For  God  hath  not  called  us  unto

Heb.  10.  10  By  the  which  will  we  are  sancti-

heavy,)  neither  wist  they  what  to 
answer  him. 

41  And  he  cometh  the  third  time,

take  your  rest :  it  is  enough,  «the  hour 
is  come ;  behold,  the  Son  of  man  is 
betrayed  into  the  hands  of  sinners.

for  I  will  keep  the  commandments  of

Ps.  119.  117  Hold  thou  me  up,  and  I  shall  be 
safe :  and  I  will  have  respect  unto  thy 
statutes  continually. 

Ps.  119.  173  Let  thine  hand  help  me ;  for  I 
have  chosen  thy  precepts. 

174  I  have  longed  for  thy  salvation, 
O  Lord  ;  and  thy  law  is  my  delight. 

Isa.  26.  8  Yea,  in  the  way  of  thy  judgments, 
O  Lord,  have  we  waited  for  thee; 
the  desire  of  our  soul  is  to  thy  name, 
and  to  the  remembi-ance  of  thee. 

9  With  my  soul  have  I  desired  thee 
in  the  night;  yea,  with  my  spirit 
within  me  will  I  seek  thee  early  :  for 
when  thy  judgments  are  in  the  earth, 
the  inhabitants  of  the  world  will  learn 
righteousness. 

Rom.  7.  18  For  I  know  that  in  me  (that  is,  in 
my  flesh.)  dwelleth  no  good  thing: 
for  to  will  is  present  with  me  ;  but  hoiu 
to  perform  that  which  is  good  I  find 
not. 

19  For  the  good  that  I  would,  I  do 
not :  but  the  evil  which  I  would  not, 
that  I  do. 

20  Now  if  I  do  that  I  would  not,  it 
is  no  more  I  that  do  it,  but  sin  that 
dwelleth  in  me. 

21  I  find  then  a  law,  that,  when  1 
would  do  good,  evil  is  present  with  me. 

22  For  I  delight  in  the  law  of  God 
after  the  inward  man :

Rom-  7.  23  But  I  see  another  law  in  my  mem- 
bers, warring  against  the  law  of  my 
mind,  and  bringing  me  into  captivity 
to  the  law  of  sin  which  is  in  my  mem- 
bers. 

24  O  wretched  man  that  I  am  !  who 
shall  deliver  me  from  the  body  of  this 
death  ? 

25  1  thank  God  through  Jesus  Christ 
our  Lord.  So  then  with  the  mind  I 
myself  serve  the  law  of  God ;  but  with 
the  flesh  the  law  of  sin. 

Rom.  8.  3  For  what  the  law  could  not  do,  in 
that  it  was  weak  through  the  flesh,  God 
sending  his  own  Son  in  the  likeness  of 
sinful  flesh,  and  for  sin,  condemned  sin 
in  the  flesh : 

I  Cor.  9.  27  But  I  keep  under  my  body,  and 
bring  it  into  subjection:  lest  that  by 
any  means,  when  I  have  preached  to 
others,  I  myself  should  be  a  castaway. 

Gal.  5.  16  This  I  say  then,  Walk  in  the 
Spirit,  and  ye  shall  not  fulfil  the  lust 
of  the  flesh. 

17  For  the  flesh  lusteth  against  the 
Spirit,  and  the  Spirit  against  the  flesh  : 
and  these  are  contrary  the  one  to  the 
other ;  so  that  ye  cannot  do  the  things 
that  ye  would. 

Gal.  5.  24  And  they  that  are  Christ's  have 
crucified  the  flesh  with  the  affections 
and  lusts. 

Phil.  2.  12  Wherefore,  my  beloved,  as  ye 
have  always  obeyed,  not  as  in  my  pres- 
ence only,  but  now  much  more  in  my 
absence,  work  out  your  own  salvation 
with  fear  and  trembling : 

13  For  it  is  God  which  worketh  in  you 
both  to  will  and  to  do  of  his  good 
pleasure. 

Phil.  8.  12  Not  as  though  I  had  already  at- 
tained, either  were  already  perfect: 
but  I  follow  after,  if  that  1  may  appre- 
hend that  for  which  also  I  am  appre- 
hended of  Christ  Jesus. 

13  Brethren,  I  count  not  myself  to 
have  apprehended :  but  this  one  thing 
/  do,  forgetting  those  things  which  are 
behind,  and  reaching  forth  unto  those 
things  which  are  before, 

14  I  press  toward  the  mark  for  the 
prize  of  the  high  calling  of  God  in 
Christ  Jesus.

Let  me  go  over,  that  the  men  of  Gilead

Matt.26.  55  In  that  same  hour  said  Jesus  to 
the  multitudes,  Are  ye  come  out  as 
against  a  thief  with  swords  and  staves 
for  to  take  me  ?  I  sat  daily  with  you 
teaching  in  the  temple,  and  ye  laid 
no  hold  on  me. 

Luke  4.  15  And  he  taught  in  their  syna- 
gogues, being  glorified  of  all. 

John  7.  14  ]Siow  about  the  midst  of  the  feast 
Jesus  went  up  into  the  temple,  and 
taught. 

John  7.  26  But,  lo,  he  speaketh  boldly,  and 
they  say  nothing  unto  him.  Do  the 
rulers  know  indeed  that  this  is  the  very 
Christ? 

John  7.  28  Then  cried  Jesus  in  the  temple 
as  he  taught,  saying.  Ye  both  know 
me,  and  ye  know  whence  I  am :  and  I 
am  not  come  of  myself,  but  he  that 
sent  me  is  true,  whom  ye  know  not. 

John  8.  2  And  early  in  the  morning  he  came 
again  into  the  temple,  and  all  the  peo- 
ple came  unto  him ;  and  he  sat  down, 
and  taught  them. 

Isa.  50.  6  I  gave  my  back  to  the  smiters, 
and  my  cheeks  to  them  that  plucked 
off  the  hair :  I  hid  not  my  face  from 
shame  and  spitting. 

Jer.  20.  2  Then  Pashur  smote  Jeremiah  the 
prophet,  and  put  him  in  the  stocks 
that  ivei^e  in  the  high  gate  of  Benja- 
min, which  was  by  the  house  of  the 
Lord. 

Mic.  5.  1  Now  gather  thyself  in  troops,  O 
daughter  of  troops :  he  hath  laid  siege 
against  us :  they  shall  smite  the  judge 
of  Israel  with  a  rod  upon  the  cheek. 

Acts  23.  2  And  the  high  priest  Ananias  com- 
manded them  that  stood  by  him  to 
smite  him  on  the  mouth. 
K 

[  Pet.  2.  23  Who,  when  he  was  reviled,  re- 
viled not  again ;  when  he  suffered,  he 
threatened  not;  but  committed  him- 
self to  him  that  judgeth  righteously : 

1j 

:sa.  63.  7  He  was  oppressed,  and  he  was  af- 
flicted, yet  he  opened  not  his  mouth  : 
he  is  brought  as  a  lamb  to  the  slaugh- 
ter, and  as  a  sheep  before  her  shearers 
is  dumb,  so  he  openeth  not  his  mouth. 

Matt.l7.  12  But  I  say  unto  you.  That  Elias  is 
come  already,  and  they  knew  him  not, 
but  have  done  unto  him  whatsoever 
they  listed.  Likewise  shall  also  the 
the  Son  of  man  suffer  of  them. 


18:  19-24. 

19  The  high  priest  then  asked  Jesus 
of  his  disciples,  and  of  his  doctrine. 

20  Jesus-  answered  him,  ^I  spake 
openly  to  the  world  ;  I  ever  taught  in 
the  synagogue,  and  in  the  temple, 
whither  the  Jews  always  resort ;  and  in 
secret  have  I  said  nothing. 

21  Why  askest  thou  me?  ask  them 
which  heard  me,  what  I  have  said  unto 
them :  behold,  they  know  what  I  said. 

22  And  when  he  had  thus  spoken, 
one  of  the  officers  which  stood  by  ^'struck 
Jesus  with  the  palm  of  his  hand,  say- 
ing, Answerest  thou  the  high  priest  so  ? 

23  Jesus  answered  him,  *If  I  have 
spoken  evil,  bear  witness  of  the  evil : 
but  if  well,  why  smitest  thou  me  ? 

24  Now  Annas  had  sent  him  bound 
unto  Caiaphas  the  high  priest,  (p.  557.) 

M 

Lev.  5.  1  And  if  a  soul  sin,  and  hear  the 
voice  of  swearing,  and  is  a  witness, 
whether  he  hath  seen  or  known  of  it ; 
if  he  do  not  utter  it,  then  he  shall  bear 
his  iniquity. 

I  Sa.  14.  24  And  the  men  of  Israel  were  dis- 
tressed that  day :  for  Saul  had  adjured 
the  people,  saying.  Cursed  he  the  man 
that  eateth  any  food  until  evening, 
that  I  may  be  avenged  on  mine  ene- 
mies. So  none  of  the  people  tasted 
any  food. 

Dan.  7.  13  I  saw  in  the  night  visions,  and, 
behold,  one  like  the  Son  of  man  came 
with  the  clouds  of  heaven,  and  came 
to  the  Ancient  of  days,  and  they 
brought  him  near  before  him. 

Matt.16.  27  For  the  Son  of  man  shall  come  in 
the  glory  of  his  Father  with  his 
angels;  and  then  he  shall  reward 
every  man  according  to  his  works. 

Matt.24.  30  And  then  shall  appear  the  sign 
of  the  Son  of  man  in  heaven :  and  then 
shall  all  the  tribes  of  the  earth.moum,

7  And  as  soon  as  he  knew  that  he 
belonged  unto '^Herod's  jurisdiction,  he 
sent  him  to  Herod,  who  himself  also

to  see  him  of  a  long  season,  because  ^he 
bad  heard  many  things  of  him  ;  and  he

things  ?  We  also  are  men  of  like  pas-

that  ye  should  turn  from  these  vani-

Mark  6.  16  But  when  Herod  heard  thereof, 
he  said,  It  is  John,  whom  I  beheaded  : 
he  is  risen  from  the  dead. 

17  For  Herod  himself  had  sent  forth 
and  laid  hold  upon  John,  and  bound 
him  in  prison  for  Herodias'  sake,  his 
brother  Philip's  wife;  for  he  had 
married  her. 

18  For  John  had  said  unto  Herod, 
It  is  not  lawful  for  thee  to  have  thy 
brother's  wife. 

19  Therefore  Herodias  had  a  quarrel 
against  him,  and  would  have  killed 
him;  but  she  could  not: 

20  For  Herod  feared  John,  knowing 
that  he  was  a  just  man  and  a  holy, 
and  observed  him ;  and  when  he 
heard  him,  he  did  many  things,  and 
heard  him  gladly. 

21  And  when  a  convenient  day  was 
come,  that  Herod  on  his  birthday 
made  a  supper  to  his  lords,  high  cap- 
tains, and  chief  estates  of  Galilee ; 

22  And  when  the  daughter  of  the 
said  Herodias  came  in,  and  danced, 
and  pleased  Herod  and  them  that  sat 
with  him,  the  king  said  unto  the 
damsel,  Ask  of  me  whatsoever  thou 
wilt,  and  I  will  give  it  thee. 

23  And  he  sware  unto  her,  Whatso- 
ever thou  shalt  ask  of  me,  I  will  give 
it  thee,  unto  the  half  of  my  kingdom. 

24  And  she  went  forth,  and  said  un- 
to her  mother.  What  shall  I  ask  ?  And 
she  said,  The  head  of  John  the  Baptist. 

25  And  she  came  in  straightway  with 
haste  unto  the  king,  and  asked,  saying, 
I  will  that  thou  give  me  by  and  by  in 
a  charger  the  head  of  John  the  Baptist. 

26  And  the  king  was  exceeding 
sorry ;  yet  for  his  oath's  sake,  and  for 
their  sakes  which  sat  with  him,  he 
would  not  reject  her.

him  concerning  the  faith  in  Clirist. 

25  And  as  he  reasoned  of  righteous- 
ness, temperance,  and  judgment  to 
come,  Felix  tremliled,  and  answered. 
Go  thy  way  for  this  time;  when  I 
have  a  convenient  season,  I  will  call 
for  thee.

have  been  given  him  of  Paul,  that  he 
might  loose  him :  wherefore  he  sent  for 
him  the  oftener,  and  communed  with 
him..

to  that. 

6  And  he  cast  down  the  pieces  of  sil- 
ver in  the  temple,  ^and  departed,  and 
went  and  hanged  himself. 

'6  And  the  chief  priests  took  the  silver 
pieces,  and  said.  It  is  not  lawful  for  to 
put  them  into  the  treasury,  because  it  is 
the  price  of  blood. 

7  And  they  took  counsel,  and  bought 
with  them  the  potter's  field,  to  bury 
strangers  in. 

8  Wherefore  '^that  field  was  called, 
The  field  of  blood,  «unto  this  day.

they  laid  the  cross,  that  he  might  bear

sitting,  the  one  at  the  head,  and  the  other

Lord,  and  I  know  not  where  they  have 
laid  him.

demned to  death,  and  have  crucified  him.

he  which  should  have  redeemed  Israel :

comeliness;  and  when  we  shall  see

desire  him.

integrity  of  his  heart;  and  guided 
them  by  the  skilfuhiess  of  his  hands. 

Jer.  3.  15  And  I  will  give  you  pastors  ac-

feed  you  with  knowledge  and  under- 
standing.

them  which  shall  feed  them:  and  they 
shall  fear  no  more,  nor  be  dismayed, 
neither  shall  they  be  lacking,  saith 
the  Lord. 

Eze.  34.  2  Son  of  man,  prophesy  against  the 
shepherds  of  Israel,  prophesy,  and 
say  unto  them.  Thus  saith  the  Lord 
God  unto  the  sliepherds ;  Woe  he  to 
the  shepherds  of  Israel  that  do  feed 
themselves  I  should  not  the  shepherds 
feed  the  flocks? 

8  Ye  eat  the  fat,  and  ye  clothe  you 
with  the  wool,  ye  kill  them  that  are 
fed :  but  ye  feed  not  the  flock. 

4  The  diseased  have  ye  not  strength- 
ened, neither  have  ye  healed  that 
which  was  sick,  neither  have  ye  bound 
up  that  ivhich  was  broken,  neither  have 
ye  brought  again  that  which  was 
driven  away,  neither  have  ye  sought 
that  which  was  lost;  but  with  force 
and  with  cruelty  have  ye  ruled  them. 

5  And  they  were  scattered,  because 
there  is  no  shepherd  :  and  they  became 
meat  to  all  the  beasts  of  the  field, 
when  they  were  scattered. 

6  My  sheep  wandered  through  all 
the  mountains,  and  upon  every  high 
hill :  yea,  my  flock  was  scattered  upon 
all  the  face  of  the  earth,  and  none  did 
search  or  seek  after  them. 

7  Therefore,  ye  shepherds,  hear  the 
word  of  the  Lord  ; 

8  ^s  I  live,  saith  the  Lord  God, 
surely  because  my  flock  became  a  prey, 
and  my  flock  became  meat  to  every 
beast  of  the  field,  because  there  was  no 
shepherd,  neither  did  my  shepherds 
search  for  my  flock,  but  the  shepherds 
fed  themselves,  and  fed  not  my  flock  ; 

9  Therefore,  O  ye  shepherds,  hear 
the  word  of  the  Lord  ; 

10  Thus  saith  the  Lord  God;  Behold, 
I  am  against  the  shepherds;  and  I 
will  require  my  flock  at  their  hand, 
and  cause  them  to  cease  from  feeding 
the  flock ;  neither  shall  the  shepherds 
feed  themselves  any  more ;  for  I  will 
deliver  my  flock  from  their  mouth,

9  As  soon  then  as  they  were  come  to 
land,  they  saw  a  ^fire  of  coals  there,  and 
fish  laid  thereon,  and  bread. 

10  Jesus  saith  unto  them.  Bring  of 
the  fish  which  ye  have  now  caught. 

11  Simon  Peter  went  up,  and  drew 
the  net  to  land  full  of  great  fishes,  a 
hundred  and  fifty  and  three :  and  for 
all  there  were  so  many,  yet  was*not  the

it  was  the  Lord.

after  that  he  was  risen  from  the  dead. 

15  So  when  they  had  dined,  Jesus 
saith  to  Simon  Peter,  Simon,  son  of 
Jonas,  lovest  thou  me  ^more  than  these  ? 
He  saith  unto  him.  Yea,  Lord  ;  ^thou

See  preceding  pages  (618,  619). 

Eze.  34.  23  And  I  will  set  up  one  Shepherd 
over  them,  and  he  shall  feed  them, 
even  my  servant  David ;  he  shall  feed 
them,  and  he  shall  be  their  shepherd. 

Acts  20.  28  Take  heed  therefore  unto  your- 
selves, and  to  all  the  flock,  over  the 
which  the  Holy  Ghost  hath  made 
you  overseers,  to  feed  the  church  of 
God,  which  he  hath  purchased  with 
his  own  blood. 

I  Tim.4.  15  Meditate  upon  these  things ;  give 
thyself  wholly  to  them ;  that  thy  prof- 
iting may  appear  to  all. 

16  Take  heed  unto  thyself,  and  unto 
the  doctrine ;  continue  in  them :  for 
in  doing  this  thou  shalt  both  save 
thyself,  and  them  that  hear  thee. 

Heb.  13.  20  Now  the  God  of  peace,  that 
brought  again  from  the  dead  oui  Lord 
Jesus,  that  great  Shepherd  of  the 
sheep,  through  the  blood  of  the  ever- 
lasting covenant, 

I  Pet.  2.  25  For  ye  were  as  sheep  going  astray ; 
but  are  now  returned  unto  the  Shep- 
herd and  Bishop  of  your  souls. 

I  Pet.  5.  1  The  elders  which  are  among  you  I 
exhort,  who  am  also  an  elder,  and  a 
witness  of  the  sufi'erings  of  Christ, 
and  also  a  partaker  of  the  glory  that 
shall  be  revealed : 

2  Feed  the  flock  of  God  which  is 
among  you,  taking  the  oversight 
thereof,  not  by  constraint,  but  will- 
ingly ;  not  for  filthy  lucre,  but  of  a 
ready  mind ; 

3  Neither  as  being  lords  over  God's 
heritage,  but  being  ensamples  to  the 
flock. 

4  And  when  the  chief  Shepherd  shall 
appear,  ye  shall  receive  a  crown  of 
glory  that  fadeth  not  away. 

R 

John  13.  38  Jesus  answered  him.  Wilt  thou 

lay  down  thy  life  for  my  sake  ?  Verily, 

verily,  I  say  unto  thee.  The  cock  shall 

not  crow,  till  thou  hast  denied  me  thrice. 

S 

John  2.  24  But  Jesus  did  dot  commit  himself 
unto  them,  because  he  knew  all  men, 

25  And  needed  not  that  any  should 
testify  of  man ;  for  he  knew  what  was 
in  man. 

John  16.  30  Now  are  we  sure  that  thou  know- 
est  all  things,  and  needest  not  that 
anyman  should  ask  thee:  by  this  we  be-, 
lieve  that  thou  camest  forth  from  God. 

Acts  1.     24  And  they  prayed,  and  said,  Thou,

Lord,  which  knowest  the  hearts  of  all 
men,  show  whether  of  these  two  thou 
hast  chosen, 

I  Thes.2.  4  But  as  we  were  allowed  of  God  to 
be  put  in  trust  with  the  gospel,  even 
so  we  speak ;  not  as  pleasing  men,  but 
God,  which  trieth  our  hearts. 
T 

Ps.  95.  7  For  he  is  our  God ;  and  we  are  the 
people  of  his  pasture,  and  the  sheep  of 
his  hand.  To  day  if  ye  will  hear  hia 
voice, 

Ps.  100.  3  Know  ye  that  the  Lord  he  is  God : 
it  is  he  that  hath  made  us,  and  not  we 
ourselves ;  we  are  his  people,  and  the 
sheep  of  his  pasture. 

Zech.13.  7  Awake,  O  sword,  against  my  Shep- 
herd, and  against  the  man  that  is  my 
fellow,  saitli  the  Lord  of  hosts :  smite 
the  Shepherd,  and  the  sheep  shall  be 
scattered :  and  I  will  turn  mine  hand 
upon  the  little  ones.

John  13.  36  Simon  Peter  said  unto  him,  Lord, 
whither  goest  thou  ?  Jesus  answered 
him.  Whither  I  go,  thou  canst  not  fol- 
low me  now;  but  thou  shalt  follow 
me  afterwards. 

Acts  12.  3  And  because  he  saw  it  pleased  the 
Jews,  he  proceeded  further  to  take 
Peter  also.  (Then  were  the  days  of 
unleavened  bread.) 

4  And  when  he  had  apprehended 
him,  he  put  him  in  prison,  and  de- 
livered him  to  four  quaternions  of 
soldiers  to  keep  him ;  intending  after 
Easter  to  bring  him  forth  to  the  people.

Phil.  1.  20  According  to  my  earnest  expecta- 
tion and  my  hepe,  that  in  nothing  I 
shall  be  ashamed,  but  that  with  all 
boldness,  as  always,  so  now  also  Christ 
shall  be  magnified  in  my  body, 
whether  it  be  by  life,  or  by  death. 

I  Pet.  4.  11  If  any  man  speak,  let  him  speak  as 
the  oracles  of  God ;  if  any  man  min- 
ister, let  him  do  it  as  of  the  ability 
which  God  giveth;  that  God  in  all 
things  may  be  glorified  through  Jesus 
Christ:  to  whom  be  praise  and  do- 
minion for  ever  and  ever.     Amen. 

12  Beloved,  think  it  not  strange  con- 
cerning the  fiery  trial  which  is  to  try 
you,  as  though  some  strange  thing 
happened  unto  you: 

13  But  rejoice,  inasmuch  as  ye  are 
partakers  of  Christ's  sufferings  ;  that, 
when  his  glory  shall  be  revealed,  ye 
may  be  glad  also  with  exceeding  joy.

Matt.  16.  27  For  the  Son  of  man  shall  come  in 
the  glory  of  his  Father  with  his  angels  ; 
and  then  he  shall  reward  every  man 
according  to  his  works.

some  standing  here,  which  shall  not 
taste  of  death,  till  they  see  the  Son  of 
man  coming  in  his  kingdom. 

Matt.25.  31  When  the  Son  of  man  shall  come 
in  his  glory,  and  all  the  holy  angels 
with  him,  then  shall  he  sit  upon  the 
throne  of  his  glory :

will  bring  to  light  the  hidden  things 
of  darkness,  and  will  make  manifest 
the  counsels  of  the  hearts :  and  then 
shall  every  man  have  praise  of  God. 

I  Cor.ll.  26  For  as  often  as  ye  eat  this  bread, 
and  drink  this  cup,  ye  do  show  the 
Lord's  death  till  he  come.

16  He  saith  to  him  again  the  second 
time,  Simon,  son  of  Jonas,  lovest  thou 
me  ?  He  saith  unto  him,  Yea,  Lord  ; 
thou  knowest  that  I  love  thee.  He 
saith  unto  him,  Feed  my  sheep. 

1 7  He  saith  unto  him  the  ^third  time, 
Simon,  son  of  Jonas,  lovest  thou  me  ? 
Peter  was  grieved  because  he  said  unto 
him  the  third  time,  Lovest  thou  me? 
And  he  said  unto  him,  Lord,  *thou 
knowest  all  things  ;  thou  knowest  that 
I  love  thee.  Jesus  saith  unto. him, 
Feed  ^my  sheep. 

18  ^Verily,  verily,  I  say  unto  thee. 
When  thou  wast  young,  thou  girdedst 
thyself,  and  walkedst  whither  thou 
wouldest:  but  when  thou  shalt  be  old, 
thou  shalt  stretch  forth  thy  hands,  and 
anotner  shall  gird  thee,  and  carry  thee 
whither  thou  wouldest  not. 

19  This  spake  he,  '^signifying  by  what 
death  he  should  glorify  God.  And 
when  he  had  spoken  this,  he  saith  unto 
him,  Follow  me. 

20  Then  Peter,  turning  about,  seeth 
the  disciple  ^^whom  Jesus  loved  follow- 
ing ;  which  also  leaned  on  his  breast  at 
supper,  and  said,  Lord,  which  is  he  that 
betrayeth  thee?

Lord,  and  ^what  shall  this  man  do  f

23  Then  went  this  saying  abroad 
among  the  brethren,  that  that  disciple 
should  not  die :  yet  Jesus  said  not  unto 
him.  He  shall  not  die ;  but,  If  I  will

forty  days,  and  speaking  of  the  things 
pertaining  to  the  kingdom  of  God :

things,  while  they  beheld,  he  was 
taken  up ;  and  a  cloud  received  him 
out  of  their  sight. 

10  And  while  they  looked  steadfastly 
toward  heaven  as  he  went  up,  behold, 
two  men  stood  by  them  in  white  ap- 
parel ; 

11  Which  also  said.  Ye  men  of  Gal- 
ilee, why  stand  ye  gazing  up  into 
heaven?  this  same  Jesus,  which  is 
taken  up  from  you  into  heaven,  shall 
so  come  in  like  manner  as  ye  have 
seen  him  go  into  heaven.

16  Men  and  brethren,  this  Scrip- 
ure  must  needs  have  been  fulfilled, 
which  the  Holy  Ghost  by  the  mouth 

of  David  spake  before  concerning 
Judas,  '^which  was  guide  to  them  that 
took  Jesus. 

17  For  ''he  was  numbered  with  us, 
and  had  obtained  part  of  this  "min- 
istry. 

18  Now  •''this  man  purchased  a  field 
with  the  ^reward  of  iniquity;  and  fall- 
ing headlong,  he  burst  asunder  in  the 
midst,  and  all  his  bowels  gushed  out. 

19  And  it  was  known  unto  all  the 
dwellers  at  Jerusalem;  insomuch  as 
that  field  is  called  in  their  proper 
tongue,  Aceldama,  that  is  to  say, 
The  field  of  blood. 

20  For  it  IS  written  in  the  book  of 
Psalms,  '^Let  his  habitation  be  deso- 
late, and  let  no  man  dwell  therein: 
and,*His^bishoprick  let  another  take. 

21  Wherefore  of  these  men  %hich 
have  companied  with  us  all  the  time 
that  the  Lord  Jesus  went  in  and  out 
among  us, 

22  'Beginning  from  the  baptism  of 
John,  unto  that  same  day  that  ""he 
was  taken  up  from  us,  must  one  be 
ordained  "to  be  a  witness  with  us  of 
his  resurrection. 

23  And  they  appointed  two,  Joseph 
called  "Barsabas,  who  was  surnamed 
Justus,  and  Matthias. 

24  And  they  prayed,  and  said, 
Thou,  Lord,  ^which  knowest  the 
hearts  of  all  men,  shew  whether  of 
these  two  thou  has  chosen, 

25  That  he  may  take  part  of  this 
ministry  and  apostleship,  from  which 
Judas  by  transgression  fell,  that  he 
might  go  to  his  own  place.

wicked    hands    have    crucified    and

24  *\Vhom  God  hath  raised  up, 
having  loosed  the  pains  of  death: 
'because  it  was  not  possible  that  he 
should  be  holden  of  it. 

25  For  David  speaketh  concerning 
him,  "'I  foresaw  the  Lord  always  be- 
fore my  face,  for  he  is  on  my  right 
hand,  that  I  should  not  be  moved: 

26  Therefore  did  my  heart  rejoice, 
and  nay  tongue  was  glad;  moreover 
also  my  flesh  shall  rest  in  hope: 

27  Because  thou  wilt  not  leave  my 
soul  in  hell,  neither  wilt  thou  suffer 
thine  Holy  One  to  see  corruption. 

28  Thou  hast  made  known  to  me 
the  ways  of  life;  thou  shalt  make  me 
full  of  joy  with  thy  countenance. 

29  Men  iz;;^/ brethren,  ^let  me  free- 
ly speak  unto  you  ''of  the  patriarch 
David,  that  he  is  both  dead  and 
buried,  and  his  sepulchre  is  with  us 
unto  this  day. 

30  Therefore  "being  a  prophet,  and 
knowing  that  God  had  sworn  ^with 
an  oath  to  him,  that  ^of  the  fruit  of 
his  loins,  according  to  the  flesh,  he 
would  raise  up  Christ  to  sit  on  his 
throne; 

31  He  seeing  this  before,  spake  of 
the  resurrection  of  Christ,  ''that  his 
soul  was  not  left  in  hell,  neither  his 
flesh  did  see  corruption. 

32  This  *Tesus  hath  God  raised  up, 
whereofSve  all  are  witnesses. 

^^  Therefore  *'being  by  the  right 
hand  of  God  exalted,  and  ""having 
received  of  the  Father  the  promise 
of  the  Holy  Ghost,  he  "hath  shed 
forth  this,  which  ye  now  see  and  hear.

of  prayer,  ^being  the  ninth  hour. 

2  And  ascertain  man  lame  from  his

they  laid  daily  at  the  gate  of  the 
temple  which  is  called  Beautiful,  '^to 
ask  alms  of  them  that  entered  into 
the  temple;

look  ye  so  earnestly  on  us,  as  though

Come  ye,  and  let  us  go  up  to  the

the  God  of  Jacob;  and  he  will  teach 
us  of  his  ways,  and  we  will  walk  in

places  round  about  my  hill  a  blessing; 
and  I  will  cause  the  shower  to  come 
down  in  his  season;  there  shall  be 
showers  of  blessing. 

27  And  the  tree  of  the  field  shall

her  increase,  and  they  shall  be  safe  in 
their  land,  and  shall  know  that  I  am

possession,

brought  a  certain  part,  and  laid  it

hath  Satan  filled  thine  heart  Ho  lie  to 
the  Holy  Ghost,  and  ^to  keep  back 
part  of  the  price  of  the  land? 

4  While  it  remained,  was  it  not  thine 
own?  and  after  it  was  sold,  was  it 
not  in  thine  own  power?  why  hast 
thou  conceived  this  thing  in  thine

but  unto  God.

7^2,  When    "they    heard    thaty    they 
were  cut  to  the  heart,  and  took  coun- 
sel to  slay  them. 

34  Then  stood  there  up  one  in  the 
council,  a  Pharisee,  named  ''Gama- 
liel, a  doctor  of  the  law,  had  in  repu- 
tation among  all  the  people,  and 
commanded  to  put  the  apostles  forth 
a  little  space ; 

35  And  said  unto  them,  Ye  men  of 
Israel,  take  heed  to  yourselves  what 
ye  intend  to  do  as  touching  these 
men. 

36  For  before  these  days  rose  up 
Theudas,  boasting  himself  to  be 
somebody;  to  whom  a  number  of 
men,  about  four  hundred,  joined 
themselves  :  who  was  slam;  and  all, 
as  many  as  ^obeyed  him,  were  scat- 
tered, and  brought  to  nought. 

37  After  this  man  rose  up  Judas  of 
Galilee  in  the  days  of  the  taxing, 
and  drew  away  much  people  after 
him  :  he  also  perished  ;  and  all,  even 
as  many  as  obeyed  him,  were  dis- 
persed.

from  these  men,  and  let  them  alone  :

6:1-7. 

1  And  in  those  days,  "when  the 
number  of  the  disciples  was  multi- 
plied, there  arose  a  murmuring  of 
the  ^Grecians  against  the  Hebrews, 
because  their  widows  were  neglected 
""in  the  daily  ministration. 

2  Then  the  twelve  called  the  mul- 
titude of  the  disciples  unto  them,  and 
said,  ^It  is  not  reason  that  we  should 
leave  the  word  of  God,  and  serve 
tables. 

3  Wherefore,  brethren,  "look  ye  out 
among  you  seven  men  ■''of  honest  re- 
port, full  of  the  Holy  Ghost  and 
wisdom,  whom  we  may  appoint  over 
this  business. 

4  But  we  ^vvill  give  ourselves  con- 
tinually to  prayer,  and  to  the  min- 
istry of  the  word. 

5  And  the  saying  pleased  the  whole 
multitude  :  and  they  chose  Stephen, 
*a  man  full  of  faith  and  of  the  Holy 
Ghost,  and  'Philip,  and  Prochorus, 
and  Nicanqr,  and  Timon,  and  Par- 
menas,  and  Nicolas  a  proselyte  of 
Antioch ; 

6  Whom  they  set  before  the  apos- 
tles :  and  *when  they  had  prayed, 
Hhey  laid  their  hands  on  them. 

7  And'^the  word  of  God  increased; 
and  the  number  of  the  disciples  mul- 
tiplied in  Jerusalem  greatly;  and  a 
great  company  "of  the  priests  were 
obedient  to  the  faith.

23  And  ''when  he  was  full  forty  years 
old,  it  came  into  his  heart  to  visit 
his  brethren  the  children  of  Israel. 

24  And  seeing  one  of  them  suffer 
wrong,  he  defended  him,  and  avenged 
him  that  was  oppressed,  and  smote 
the  Egyptian: 

25  *For  he  supposed  his  brethren 
would  have  understood  how  that  God 
by  his  hand  would  deliver  them;  but 
they  understood  not. 

26  And  "^the  next  day  he  shewed 
himself  unto  them  as  they  strove, 
and  would  have  set  them  at  one 
again,  saying.  Sirs,  ye  are  brethren; 
why  do  ye  wrong  one  to  another? 

27  But  he  that  did  his  neighbour 
wrong  thrust  him  away  saying, *Who 
made  thee  a  ruler  and  a  judge  over 
us  ? 

28  Wilt  thou  kill  me,  as  thou  didst 
the  Egyptian  yesterday  ? 

29  Then  •''fled  Moses  at  this  saying, 
and  was  a  stranger  in  the  land  of 
Madian,  ^where  he  begat  two  sons, 

30  And  when  forty  years  were  ex- 
pired, there  appeared  to  him  in  the 
wilderness  of  mount  Sina  an  *angel 
of  the  Lord  in  a  flame  of  fire  in  a 
bush. 

31  When  Moses  saw  it,  he  wondered 
at  the  sight:  and  as  he  drew  near  to 
behold  //,  the  voice  of  the  Lord  came 
unto  him, 

32  Saying,  'I  ajn  the  God  of  thy  fa- 
thers, the  God  of  Abraham,  and  the 
God  of  Isaac,  and  the  God  of  Jacob. 
Then  Moses  trembled,  and  durst 
not  behold.

off  thy  shoes  from  thy  feet:  for  the 
place   where    thou   standest  is   holy 
ground. 

34  I  'have  seen,  I  have  seen  the 
affliction  of  my  people  which  is  in 
Egypt,  and  I  have  heard  their  groan- 
ing, and  am  come  down  to  deliver 
them.  And  now  come,  I  will  send 
thee  into  Egypt. 

35  This  Moses  whom  they  refused, 
saying.  Who  made  thee  a  ruler  and 
a  judge?  the  same  did  God  send  to 
be  a  ruler  and  a  deliverer  "*by  the 
hand  of  the  angel  which  appear  to

THE  ACTS. 


^  249.     PETER  AND  JOHN  SENT  TO  SAMARIA.     SIMON  REBUKED. 


8:  14-25- 

14  Now  when  the  apostles  which 
were  at  Jerusalem  heard  that  Sa- 
maria had  received  the  word  of  God, 
they  sent  unto  them  Peter  and  John: 

15  Who,  when  they  were  come 
down,  prayed  for  them,  ''that  they 
might  receive  the  Holy  Ghost: 

16  (For  ^as  yet  he  was  fallen  upon 
none  of  them:  only  they  Vere  bap- 
tized in  the  name  of  the  Lord  Jesus.) 

17  Then  '^Jaid  they  their  hands  on 
them,  and  they  received  the  Holy 
Ghost. 

18  And  when  Sitnun  saw  that 
through  laying  on  of  the  apostles' 
hands  the  Holy  Ghost  was  given,  he 
offered  them  money, 

19  Saying,  Give  me  also  this  power, 
that  on  whomsoever  I  lay  hands,  he 
may  receive  the  Holy  Ghost. 

20  But  Peter  said  unto  him,  Thy 
money  perish  with  thee,  because 
"thou  hast  thought  that  the  -^gift  of 
God  maybe  purchased  with  money. 

21  Thou  hast  neither  part  nor  lot 
in  this  matter:  for  thy  ^heart  is  not 
light  in  the  sight  of  God. 

22  Repent  therefore  of  this  thy 
wickedness,  and  pray  God,  *if  per- 
haps the  thought  of  thine  heart  may 
be  forgiven  thee. 

23  For  I  perceive  that  thou  art  in 
'the  gall  of  bitterness,  and  in  the 
bond  of  iniquity. 

24  Then  answered  Simon,  and  said, 
'Pray  ye  to  the  Lord  for  me,  that 
none  of  these  things  which  ye  have 
spoken  come  upon  me. 

25  And  they,  when  they  had  testi-

26  And  the  angel  of  the  Lord  spake 
unto  Philip,  saying,  Arise,  and  go 
toward  the  south,  unto  the  way  that 
goeth  down  from  Jerusalem  unto 
Gaza,  which  is  desert. 

27  And  he  arose  and  went  :  and, 
behold,  a  "man  of  Ethiopia,  ^a  eu- 
nuch of  great  authority  under  Can- 
dace  queen  of  the  Ethiopians,  who 
had  the  charge  of  all  her  treasure, 
and  ''had  come  to  Jerusalem  for  to 
worship, 

28  Was  returning,  and  sitting  in  his 
chariot  read  Esaias  the  prophet. 

29  Then  '^the  Spirit  said  unto  Phil- 
ip, Go  near,  and  join  thyself  to  this 
chariot. 

30  And  Philip  ran  thither  to  him, 
and  heard  him  read  the  prophet  Esa- 
ias, and  said,  Understandest  thou 
what  thou  readest  ? 

31  And  he  said.  How  can  I,  except 
some  man  should  guide  me?  And  he 
desired  Philip  that  he  would  come 
up  and  sit  with  him. 

32  The  place  of  the  Scripture  which 
he  read  was  this,  *He  was  led  as  a 
sheep  to  the  slaughter;  and  like  a 
lamb  dumb  before  his  shearer,  so 
opened  he  not  his  mouth: 

T^Tj  In  his  humiliation  his  judgment 
was  taken  away:  and  who  shall  de- 
clare his  generation  ?  for  his  life  is 
taken  from  the  earth. 

34  And  the  eunuch  answered  Philip, 
and  said,  I  pray  thee,  of  whom  speak- 
eth  the  prophet  this?  of  himself,  or 
of  some  other  man  ?

36  And  as  they  went  on  their  way, 
they  came  unto  a  certain  water:  and 
the  eunuch  said,  See,  here  is  water; 
^'what  doth  hinder  me  to  be  baptized  ? 

37  And  Philip  said,  '^If  thou  be-

to  stand  still:  and  they  went  down 
both  into  the  water,  both  Philip  and

39  And  when  they  were  come  up 
out  of  the  water,  the  ^Spirit  of  the 
Lord  caught  away  Philip,  that  the 
eunuch  saw  him  no  more  :  and  he 
went  on  his  way  rejoicing.

1  And  "Saul,  yet  breathing  out 
threatenings  and  slaughter  against 
the  disciples  of  the  Lord,  went  unto 
the  high  priest, 

2  And  desired  of  him  letters  to  Da- 
mascus to  the  synagogues,  that  if  he 
found  any^of  this  way,  whether  they 
were  men  or  women,  he  might  bring 
them  bound  unto  Jerusalem. 

3  And *ashe  journeyed, hecame  near 
Damascus:  and  suddenly  there  shined 
round  about  him  a  light  from  heaven: 

4  And  he  fell  to  the  earth,  and 
heard  a  voice  saying  unto  him,  Saul, 
Saul,  Vhy  persecutest  thou  me  ? 

5  And  he  said.  Who  art  thou.  Lord  ? 
And  the  Lord  said,  I  am  Jesus  whom 
thou  persecutest  :  '^it  is  hard  for  thee 
to  kick  against  the  pricks. 

6  And  he  trembling  and  astonished 
said,  Lord,  *what  wilt  thou  have  me 
to  do  ?  And  the  Lord  J- tz/^ unto  him. 
Arise,  and  go  into  the  city,  and  it 
shall  be  told  thee  what  thou  must  do. 

7  And  •''the  men  which  journeyed 
with  him  stood  speechless,  hearing 
a  voice,  but  seeing  no  man. 

8  And  Saul  arose  from  the  earth  ; 
and  when  his  eyes  were  opened,  he 
saw  no  man  :  but  they  led  him  by 
the  hand,  and  brought  him  into  Da- 
mascus. 

9  And  he  was  three  days  without 
sight,  and  neither  did  eat  nor  drink. 

10  And  there  was  a  certain  disciple 
at  Damascus,  ^named  Ananias  ;  and 
to  him  said  the  Lord  in  a  vision, 
Ananias.  And  he  said,  Behold,  I 
am  herey  Lord. 


ANANIAS.     SAUL  PREACHING. 

Chap.  9. 

1 1  And  the  Lord  said  unto  him. 
Arise,  and  go  into  the  street  which 
is  called  Straight,  and  inquire  in  the 
house  of  Judas  for  one  called  Saul, 
of  ''Tarsus :  for,  behold,  he  prayeth, 

1 2  And  hath  seen  in  a  vision  a  man 
named  Ananias  coming  in,  and  put- 
ting his  hand  on  him,  that  he  might 
receive  his  sight. 

13  Then  Ananias  answered.  Lord, 
I  have  heard  by  many  of  this  man, 
'how  much  evil  he  hath  done  to  thy 
saints  at  Jerusalem  : 

14  And  here  he  hath  authority  from 
the  chief  priests  to  bind  all  'that  call 
on  thy  name. 

15  But  the  Lord  said  unto  him.  Go 
thy  way :  for  'he  is  a  chosen  vessel 
unto  me,  to  bear  my  name  before 
"*the  Gentiles,  and  "kings,  and  the 
children  of  Israel: 


Acts  8.  3  As  for  Saul,  he  made  havoc  of  the 
church,  entering  into  every  house,  and 
haling  men  and  women  committed

Gr.,  of  the  way: 

Acts  19.  9  But  when  divers  were  hardened, 
and  believed  not,  but  spake  evil  of  that 
way  before  the  multitude,  he  departed 
from  them,  and  separated  the  disciples, 
disputing  daily  in  the  school  of  one 
Tyrannus. 

Acts  19.  23  And  the  same  time  there  arose  no 
small  stir  about  that  way.

Lev.  II.  4  Nevertheless,  these  shall  ye  not  eat

that  divide  the  hoof  :  as  the  camel,  be- 
cause he  cheweth  the  cud,  but  divideth

between  unclean  fowls  and  clean  :  and 
ye  shall  not  make  your  souls  abom- 
inable by  beast,  or  by  fowl,  or  by  any 
manner  of  living  thing  that  creepeth  on 
the  ground,  which  I  have  separated 
from  you  as  unclean.

have  I  not  eaten  of  that  which  dieth  of

God  hath  shewed  me  that  I  should  not 
call  any  man  common  or  unclean.

clean of  itself  ;  but  to  him  that  es- 
teemeth  any  thing  to  be  unclean,  to 
him  it  is  unclean. 

Rom.  14.  17  For  the  kingdom  of  God  is  not 
meat  and  drink  ;  but  righteousness, 
and  peace,  and  joy  in  the  Holy  Ghost. 

Rom.  14  20  For  meat  destroy  not  the  work  of 
God.  All  things  indeed  are  pure  ;  but 
it  is  evil  for  that  man  who  eateth  with 
offence.

hold, three  men  seek  thee. 

20  ""Arise  therefore,  and  get  thee 
down,  and  go  with  them,  doubting 
nothing  :  for  I  have  sent  them. 

21  Then  Peter  went  down  to  the 
men  which  were  sent  unto  him  from 
Cornelius;  and  said.  Behold,  I  am 
he  whom  ye  seek  :  what  ts  the  cause 
wherefore  ye  are  come? 

22  And  they  said,  Cornelius  the 
centurian,  a  just  man,  and  one  that 
feareth  God,  and  of  "good  report

angel  to  send  for  thee  into  his  house,

""Stand  up ;  I  myself  also  am  a  man.

40  'Kim  God  raised  up  the  third 
day,  and  shewed  him  openly  ; 

41  ""Not  to  all  the  people,  but  unto 
witnesses  chosen  before  of  God,  even 
to  us,  ""who  did  eat  and  drink  with 
him  after  he  rose  from  the  dead. 

42  And  he^commanded  us  to  preach 
unto  the  people,  and  to  testify  ^that 
it  is  he  which  was  ordained  of  God 
to  be  the  Judge  of  quick  and  dead. 

43  To  ''him  give  all  the  prophets 
witness,  that  through  his  name  ''who- 
soever believeth  in  him  shall  receive 
remission  o^  sins. 

44  While  Peter  yet  spake  these 
words,  the  'Holy  Ghost  fell  on  all 
them  which  heard  the  word. 

45  And  'they  of  the  circumcision 
which  believed  were  astonished,  as 
many  as  came  with  Peter,  "because 
that  on  the  Gentiles  also  was  poured 
out  the  gift  of  the  Holy  Ghost. 

46  For  they  heard  them  speak  with 
tongues,  and  magnify  God.  Then 
Answered  Peter, 

47  Can  any  man  forbid  water,  that 
these  should  not  be  baptized,  which 
have  received  the  Holy  Ghost  '^as 
well  as  we  ?

II :i~i8. 

1  And  the  apostles  and  brethren 
that  were  in  Judea  heard  that  the 
Gentiles  nad  also  received  the  word 
of  God. 

2  And  when  Peter  was  come  up  to 
Jerusalem,  "they  that  were  of  the  cir- 
cumcision contended  with  him, 

3  Saying,  *Thou  wentest  in  to  men 
uncircumcised,  and  didst  eat  with 
them. 

4  But  Peter  rehearsed  the  matter 
from  the  beginning,  and  "expounded 
//  by  order  into  them,  saying, 

5  ''I  was  in  the  city  of  Joppa  pray- 
ing :  and  *in  a  trance  I  saw  a  vision, 
A  certain  vessel  descend,  as  it  had 
been  a  great  sheet,  let  down  from 
heaven  by  four  corners  ;  and  it  came 
even  to  me  : 

6  Upon  the  which  when  I  had 
fastened  mine  eyes,  I  considered, 
and  saw  four-footed  beasts  of  the 
earth,  and  wild  beasts,  and  creeping 
things,  and  fowls  of  the  air. 

7  And  I  heard  a  voice  saying  unto 
me,  Arise,  Peter;  slay  and  eat. 

8  But  I  said.  Not  so.  Lord  :  for 
^nothing  common  or  unclean  hath  at 
any  time  entered  into  my  mouth. 

9  But  the  voice  answered  me  again 
from  heaven.  What  God  hath 
cleansed,  that  call  not  thou  common. 

10  And  this  was  done  three  times: 
and  all  were  drawn  up  again  into

13  And  he  *shewed  us  how  he  had 
seen  an  angel  in  his  house,  which 
stood  and  said  unto  him.  Send  men 
to  Joppa,  and  call  for  Simon,  whose 
surname  is  Peter; 

14  Who  shall  tell  thee  *words, 
whereby  thou  and  all  thy  house  shall 
be  saved. 

15  And  as  I  began  to  speak,  the 
Holy  Ghost  fell  on  them,  ^as  on  us 
at  the  beginning. 

16  Then  remembered  I  the  word  of 
the  Lord,  how  that  he  said,  '"John 
indeed  baptized  with  water;  but  ye 
shall  be  baptized  with  the  Holy  Ghost. 

1 7  "Forasmuch  then  as  God  gave 
them  the  like  gift  as  he  did  unto  us, 
who  believed  on  the  Lord  Jesus 
Christ,  what  was  I,  that  I  could 
withstand  God  ? 

18  When  they  heard  these  things, 

they  held  their  peace,  and  glorified

which  were  of  the  circumcision.

Rom.  I.  16  For  I  am  not  ashamed  of  the  gos- 
pel of  Christ:  for  it  is  the  power  of  God

lieveth;  to  the  Jew  first,  and  also  to  the 
Greek. 

Rom.  10.  8  But  what  saith  it?  The  word  is 
nigh  thee,  even  in  thy  mouth,  and  in 
thy  heart:  that  is,  the  word  of  faith, 
which  we  preach; 

9  That  if  thou  shalt  confess  with  thy 
mouth  the  Lord  Jesus,  and  shalt  believe 
in  thine  heart  that  God  hath  raised  him 
from  the  dead,  thou  shalt  be  saved. 

ID  For  with  the  heart  man  believeth 
unto  righteousness;  and  with  the  mouth 
confession  is  made  unto  salvation.

19  Now  "they  which  were  scattered 
abroad  upon  the  persecution  that 
arose  about  Stephen  travelled  as  far 
as  Phenice,  and  Cyprus,  and  Anti- 
och,  preaching  the  word  to  none  but 
unto  the  Jews  only. 

20  And  some  of  them  were  men  of 
Cyprus  and  Cyrene,  which,  when 
they  were  come  to  Antioch,  spake 
unto  *the  Grecians,  preaching  the 
Lord  Jesus. 

21  And  "the  hand  of  the  Lord  was 
with  them  :  and  a  great  number  be- 
lieved, and  '^turned  unto  the  Lord. 

22  Then  tidings  of  these  things 
came  unto  the  ears  of  the  church 
which  was  in  Jerusalem  :  and  they 
sent  >rth  ^Barnabas,  that  he  should 
go  as  far  as  Antioch. 

23  Who,  when  he  came,  and  had 
seen  the  grace  of  God,  was  glad,  and 
exhorted  them  all,  that  with  purpose 
of  heart  they  would  ^cleave  unto  the 
Lord.

'^full  of  the  Holy  Ghost  and  of  faith  :

of  John  with  the  sword.

the  Jews,  he  proceeded  further  to 
take  Peter  also.  (Then  were  ''the 
days  of  unleavened  bread.) 

4  And  "^when  he  had  apprehended 
him,  he  put  him  in  prison,  and  de-

soldiers  to  keep  him ;  intending  after 
Easter  to  bring  him  forth  to  the  peo-

iron  gate  that  leadeth  unto  the  city; 
Vhich  opened  to  them  of  his  own 
accord:  and  they  went  out,  and 
passed  on  through  one  street;  and 
forthwith  the  angel  departed  from 
him. 

1 1  And  when  Peter  was  come  to 
himself,  he  said.  Now  I  know  of  a 
surety,  that  *^the  Lord  hath  sent  his 
angel,  and  'hath  delivered  me  out  of 
the  hand  of  Herod,  and />-<?;«  all  the

art  mad.  But  she  constantly  af-

and  saw  him,  they  were  astonished.

25  And  as  John  fulfilled  his  course, 
he  said,  ^/Whom  think  ye  that  I  am? 
I  am  not  he.  But,  behold,  there 
cometh  one  after  me,  whose  shoes  of

that  was  written  of  him,  •''they  took 
him  down  from  the  tree,  and  laid  him

35  Wherefore  he  saith  also  in  an- 
other/j-^/z«,  "Thou  shalt  not  suffer 
thine  Holy  One  to  see  corruption. 

36  For  David,  ^after  he  had  served 
his  own  generation  by  the  will  oi 
God,  ^fell  on  sleep,  and  was  laid 
unto  his  fathers,  and  saw  corrup- 
tion : 

37  But  he,  whom  God  raised  again, 
saw  no  corruption. 

38  Be  it  known  unto  you  therefore, 
men  ^^^brethren,  ''that  through  this 
man  is  preached  unto  you  the  for- 
giveness of  sins  : 

39  And  ''by  him  all  that  believe  are 
justified  from  all  things,  from  which 
ye  could  not  be  justified  by  the  law 
of  Moses. 

40  Beware  therefore,  lest  that  come 
upon  you,  which  is  spoken  of  *in  the 
prophets ; 

41  Behold,  ye  despisers,  and  won- 
der, and  perish :  for  I  work  a  work 
in  your  days,  a  work  which  ye  shall 
in  no  wise  believe,  though  a  man  de- 
clare it  unto  you. 

42  And  when  the  Jews  were  gone 
out  of  the  synagogue,  the  Gentiles 
besought  that  these  words  might  be 
preached  to  them  ''the  next  sabbath. 

43  Now  when  the  congregation  was 
broken  up,  many  of  the  Jews  and  re- 
ligious proselytes  followed  Paul  and 
Barnabas  ;  who,  speaking  to  them, 
'persuaded  them  to  continue  in  "the

but  through  the  righteousness  of  faith. 

Gal.  3.      16  Now   to   Abraham    and   his  seed 

were    the    promises    made.     He  saith 

not,  And  to  seeds,  as  of  many;  but  as

and  "spake  against  those  things  which 
were  spoken  by  Paul,  contradicting 
and  blaspheming. 

46  Then  Paul  and  Barnabas  waxed 
bold,  and  said,  ^It  was  necessary  that 
the  word  of  God  should  first  have 
been  spoken  to  you  :  but  ''seeing  ye 
put  it  from  you,  and  judge  your- 
selves unworthy  of  everlasting  life,

thou  shouldest  be  for  salvation  unto

Paul  had  done,  they  lifted  up  their 
voices,  saying  in  the  speech  of  Ly- 
caonia,  '^The  gods  are  come  down  to 
us  in  the  likeness  of  men.

was  the  chief  speaker. 

13  Then  the  priest  of  Jupiter,  which 
was  before  their  city,  brought  oxen 
and  garlands  into  the  gates,  ^and 
would  have  done  sacrifice  with  the 
people, 

14  Which  when  the  apostles,  Bar- 
nabas and  Paul,  heard  of,  •''they  rent 
their  clothes,  and  ran  in  among  the 
people,  crying  out, 

15  And  saying.  Sirs,  ^why  do  ye 
these  things?  '^We  also  are  men  of  like 
passions  with  you,  and  preach  unto 
you  that  ye  should  turn  from  'these 
vanities  ^unto  the  living  God,  Vhich

the  name  of  Jesus  Christ  our  Lord,

Heb.  9.  13  For  if  the  blood  of  bulls  and  of 
goats,  and  the  ashes  of  a  heifer  sprink-

purifying  of  the  flesh  : 

14  How  much  more  shall  the  blood 
of  Christ,  who  through  the  eternal 
Spirit  offered  himself  without  spot  to 
God,  purge  your  conscience  from 
dead  works  to  serve  the   living    God  ? 

I  Pet.  1.  22  Seeing  ye  have  purified  your  souls 
in  obeying  the  truth  through  the 
Spirit  unto  unfeigned  love  of  the 
brethren,  see  that  ye  love  one  another

not  that  ye  should  have  fellowship 
with  devils.

22  Then  pleased  it  the  apostles

company  to  Antioch  with  Paul  and 
Barnabas  ;  fia?nely,  Judas  surnamed

elders    and    brethren   send  greeting 

.  unto  the  brethren  which  are  of  the 
Gentiles  in  Antioch  and  Syria  and 
Cilicia  : 

24  Forasmuch  as  we  have  heard, 
that  ''certain  which  went  out  from  us 
have  troubled  you  with  words,  sub- 
verting your  souls,  saying,  Ye  must 
be  circumcised,  and  keep  the  law  ; 
to  whom  we  gave  no  such  command- 
ment : 

25  It  seemed  good  unto  us,  being

chosen  men  unto  you  with  our  be- 
loved Barnabas  and  Paul, 

26  *=Men  that  have  hazarded  their 
lives  for  the  name  of  our  Lord 
Jesus  Christ. 

27  We  have  sent  therefore  Judas 
and  Silas,  who  shall  also  ttW  you  the 
same  things  by  ^mouth. 

28  For  it  seemed  good  to  '^the

they  came  to  Antioch  :  and  when 
they  had  gathered  the  multitude  to-

but  his  father  was  a  Greek: 

2  Which  '^was  well  reported  of  by 
the  brethren  that  were  at  Lystra  and 
Iconium. 

3  Him  would  Paul  have  to  go  forth 
with  him ;  and  *took  and  circum- 
cised him  •''because  of  the  Jews  which 
were  in  those  quarters  :  for  they 
knew  all  that  his  father  was  a  Greek. 

4  And  as  they  went  through  the 
cities,  they  delivered  them  the  de- 
crees for  to  keep,  ^that  were  or- 
dained of  the  apostles  and  elders 
which  were  at  Jerusalem.

7  After  they  were  come  to  Mysia, 
they  assayed  to  go  into  Bithynia  : 
but  the  Spirit  suffered  them  not. 

8  And  they  passing  by  Mysia

9  And  a  vision  appeared  to  Paul  in 
the  night ;  There  stood  a  man  of 
Macedonia,  and  prayed  him,  saying, 
"^Come  over  into  Macedonia  and 
help  us. 

10  And  after  he  had  seen  the 
vision,  immediately  we  endeavoured 
to  go  into  Macedonia,  assuredly 
gathering  that  the  Lord  had  called  us 
for  to  preach  the  gospel  unto  them.

Hhey  caught  Paul  and  Silas,  and 
Mrew  them  into  the  ^marketplace

'^do  exceedingly  trouble  our  city, 

21  And  teach  customs,  which  are 
not  lawful  for  us  to  receive,  neither 
to  observe,  being  Romans.

istrates rent  off  their  clothes,  and 
commanded  to  beat  them. 

23  And  when  they  had  laid  many 
stripes  upon  them,  they  cast  them 
into  prison,  charging  the  jailer  to 
keep  them  safely  : 

24  Who,  having  received  such  a 
charge,  thrust  them  into  the  inner 
prison,  and  •''made  their  feet  fast  in

prayed,  and  sang  praises  unto  God  :

§  279.     PAUL  ENCOUNTERED  BY  THE  PHILOSOPHERS. 


Chap.  17. 

22  Then  Paul  stood  in  the  midst 
of  *Mars'  hill,  and  said,  Ye  men  of 
Athens,  I  perceive  that  in  all  things 
ye  are  •''too  superstitious. 

23  For  as  I  passed  by,  and  beheld 
your  Mevotions,  I  found  an  altar 
with  this  inscription,  TO  THE  UN- 
KNOWN GOD.  Whom  therefore 
ye  ignorantly  worship,  him  declare 
I  unto  you. 

24  God  ^that  made  the  world  and 
all  things  therein,  seeing  that  '^he  is 
Lord  of  heaven  and  earth,  *dwelleth 
not  in  temples  made  with  hands  ; 

25  Neither  is  worshipped  with 
men's  hands,  *as  though  he  needed 
any  thing,  seeing  'he  giveth  to  all 
life,  and  breath,  and  all  things  ; 

26  And  hath  made  of  one  blood  all 
nations  of  men  for  to  dwell  on  all  the 
face  of  the  earth,  and  hath  deter- 
mined the  times  before  appointed, 
and"*the  bounds  of  their  habitation; 

27  That  "they  should  seek  the 
Lord,  if  haply  they  might  feel  after 
him,  and  find  him,  "though  he  be  not 
far  from  every  one  of  us  : 

28  For^in  him  we  live,  and  move, 
and  have  our  being  ;  as  certain  also 
of  your  own  poets  have  said,  For 
we  are  also  his  offspring. 

29  Forasmuch  then  as  we  are  the 
offspring  of  God,  'we  ought  not  to 
think  that  the  Godhead  is  like  unto 
gold,  or  silver,  or  stone,  graven  by 
art  and  man's  device.

measure,  and  weighed  the  mountains 
in  scales,  and  the  hills  in  a  balance  ? 

Jer.  10.  1 1  Thus  shall  ye  say  unto  them.  The 
gods  that  have  not  made  the  heavens 
and  the  earth,  even  they  shall  perish 
from  the  earth,  and  from  under  these 
heavens. 

12  He  hath  made  the  earth  by  his 
power,  he  hath  established  the  world 
by    his   wisdom,    and    hath  stretched 
out  the  heavens  by  his  discretion.

Matt.  1 1.  25  At  that  time  Jesus  answered  and

and  spake  boldly  for  the  space  of 
three  months,  disputing  and  per- 
suading the  things  ^concerning  the 
kingdom  of  God.

and  believed  not,  but  spake  evil  "^^of 
that  way  before  the  multitude,  he 
departed  from  them,  and  separated 
the  disciples,  disputing  daily  in  the 
school  of  one  Tyrannus.

23  And  the  same  time  there  arose 
no  small  stir  about  that  way. 

24  For  a  certain  nia?i  named  Deme- 
trius, a  silversmith,  which  made  sil- 
ver shrines  for  Diana,  brought  "no 
small  gain  unto  the  craftsmen; 

25  Whom  he  called  together  with 
the  workmen  of  like  occupation,  and 
said,  Sirs,  ye  know  that  by  this  craft 
we  have  our  wealth. 

26  Moreover  ye  see  and  hear,  that 
not  alone  at  Ephesus,  but  almost 
throughout  all  Asia,  this  Paul  hath 
persuaded  and  turned  away  much 
people,  saying  that  *they  be  no  gods, 
which  are  made  with  hands  : 

27  So  that  not  only  this  our  craft  is 
in  danger  to  be  set  at  nought;  but  also 
that  the  temple  of  the  great  goddess 
Diana  should  be  despised,  and  her 
magnificence  should  be  destroyed, 
whom  all  Asia  and  the  world  worship- 
peth. 

28  And  when  they  heard  these  say- 
ings, they  were  full  of  wrath,  and 
cried  out,  saying,  ''Great  is  Diana  of 
the  Ephesians. 

29  And  the  whole  city  was  filled  with 
confusion:  and  having  caught  "^Gaius

32  Some  therefore  cried  one  thing, 
and  some  another:  for  the  assembly 
was  confused ;  and  the  more  part 
knew  not  wherefore  they  were  come 
together. 

2,T,  And  they  drew  Alexander  out  of 
the  multitude,  the  Jews  putting  him 
forward.  And  '^Alexander  beckoned 
with  the  hand,  and  would  have  made 
his  delence  unto  the  people. 

34  But  when  they  knew  that  he  was 
a  Jew,  all  with  one  voice  about  the 
space  of  two  hours  cried  out,  Great 
is  Diana  of  the  Ephesians. 

35  And  when  the  townclerk  had  ap- 
peased the  people,  he  said.  Ye  men 
of  Ephesus,  what  man  is  there  that 
knoweth  not  how  that  the  city  of  the 
Ephesians  is  'a  worshipper  of  the 
great  goddess  Diana,  and  of  the 
image  which  fell  down  from  Jupiter? 

2,6  Seeing  then  that  these  things  can- 
not be  spoken  against,  ye  ought  to  be 
quiet,  and  to  do  nothing  rashly. 

3  7  For  ye  have  brought  hither  these 
men,  which  are  neither  robbers  of 
churches,  nor  yet  blasphemers  of 
your  goddess. 

38  Wherefore  if  Demetrius,  and  the 
craftsmen  which  are  with  him,  have 
a  matter  against  any  man,  ^the  law 
is  open,  and  there  are  deputies  :  let 
them  implead  one  another. 

39  But  if  ye  inquire  any  thing  con- 
cerning other  matters,  it  shall  be  de- 
termined in  a  ^lawful  assembly. 

40  For  we  are  in  danger  to  be  called 
into  question  for  this  day's  uproar,

Acts  16.  16  And  it  came  to  pass,  as  we  went 
to  prayer,  a  certain  damsel  possessed 
with  a  spirit  of  divination  met  us, 
which  brought  her  masters  much  gain 
by  soothsaying  : 

Acts  16.  19  And  when  her  masters  saw  that 
the  hope  of  their  gains  was  gone,  they 
caught  Paul  and  Silas,  and  drew  them 
into  the  marketplace  unto  the  rulers.

§  289.     PAUL  DEPARTS  INTO  MACEDONIA.     VISITS  CORINTH. 

The  Second  EpiUle  to  the  Corinthians  was  probably  written  (Autumn,  A.  D.  57) 


20:  1-6. 

1  And  after  the  uproar  was  ceased, 
Paul  called  unto  him  the  disciples, 
and  embraced  them,  and  departed 
for  to  go  into  Macedonia. 

2  And  when  he  had  gone  over  those 
parts,  and  had  given  them  much  ex- 
hortation, he  came  into  Greece, 

3  And  there  abode  three  months. 
And  'when  the  Jews  laid  wait  for  him, 
as  he  was  about  to  sail  into  Syria,  he 
purposed  to  return  through  Mace- 
donia. 

4  And  there  accompanied  him  into 
Asia  Sopater  of  Berea ;  and  of  the 
Thessalonians,  ''Aristarchus  and  Se- 
cundus  ;  and  '^Gaius  of  Derbe,  "and 
Tiraotheus  ;  and  of  Asia,  -^Tycbicus 
and  ^Trophimus. 

5  These  going  before  tarried  for 
us  at  Troas. 

6  And  we  sailed  aWay  from  Philippi 
after  ^the  days  of  unleavened  bread, 
and  came  unto  them  Ho  Troas  in  five 
days  ;   where  we  abode  seven  days.

Macedonia,  our  flesh  had  no  rest,  but 
we  were  troubled  on  every  side  ;  with- 
out were  fightings,  within  were  fears.

the  Jews  banded  together,  and  bound 
themselves  under  a  curse,  saying  that 
they  would  neither  eat  nor  drink  till 
they  had  killed  Paul. 

Acts  25.  3  And  desired  favour  against  him, 
that  he  would  send  for  him  to  Jerusa- 
lem, laying  wait  in  the  way  to  kill 
him.

the  morrow ;  and  continued  his 
speech  until  midnight.

''the  upper  chamber,  where  they  were

our  way;  *and  they  all  brought  us  on

8  And  the  next  day  we  that  were  of 
Paul's  company  departed,  and  came 
unto  Cesarea;  and  we  entered  into 
the  house  of  Philip  "the  evangelist, 
^which  was  one  of  the  seven;  and 
abode  with  him. 

9  And  the  same  man  had  four  daugh- 
ters, "virgins,  which  did  prophesy. 

10  And  as  we  tarried  there  many 
days,  there  came  down  from  Judea  a 
certain  prophet,  named  ''Agabus. 

11  And  when  he  was  come  unto  us, 
he  *took  Paul's  girdle,  and  bound  his 
own  hands  and  feet,  and  said.  Thus 
saith  the  Holy  Ghost,  -^So  shall  the 
Jews  at  Jerusalem  bind  the  man  that 
owneth  this  girdle,  and  shall  deliver 
///;//  into  the  hands  of  the   Gentiles. 

12  And  when  we  heard  these  things, 
both  we,  and  they  of  that  place,  be- 
sought him  not  to  go  up  to  Jerusalem. 

13  Then  Paul  answered,  ^What 
mean  ye  to  weep  and  to  break  mine 
heart?  for  *I  am  ready  not  to  be 
bound  only,  but  also  to  die  at  Jeru- 
salem for  the  name  of  the  Lord  Jesus.

saith,) 

3  ^I  am  verily  a  man  which  am  a

into  prisons  both  men  and  women.

suddenly  there  shone  from  heaven 
a  great  light  round  about  me.

heard  a  voice  saying  unto  me,  Saul, 
Saul,  why  persecutest  thou  me  ?

there  it  shall  be  told  thee  of  all

one  part  were  Sadducees,  and  the 
other  Pharisees,  he  cried  out  in  the 
council,  Men  and  brethren,  ^\  am  a 
Pharisee,  the  son  of  a  Pharisee:  ^of 
the  hope  and  resurrection  of  the  dead

7  And  when  he  had  so  said,  there 
arose  a  dissension  between  the  Phari- 
sees and  the  Sadducees:  and  the 
multitude  was  divided. 

8  '^For  the  Sadducees  say  that  there 
is  no  resurrection,  neither  angel,  nor 
spirit:  but  the  Pharisees  confess  both. 

9  And  there  arose  a  great  cry:  and 
the  scribes  that  were  of  the  Pharisees' 
part  arose,  and  strove,  saying,  'We 
find  no  evil  in  this  man:  but  *if  a 
spirit  or  an  angel  hath  spoken  to  him, 
Het  us  not  fight  against  God. 

10  And  when  there  arose  a  great 
dissension,  the  chief  captain,  fearing 
lest  Paul  should  have  been  pulled  in 
pieces  of  them,  commanded  the  sol-

16  And  ^when  Paul's  sister's  son 
heard  of  their  lying  in  wait,  he  went 
and  entered  into  the  castle,  and  told 
Paul. 

17  Then  Paul  called  one  of  the  cen- 
turions unto  him^  and  said,  Bring 
this  young  man  unto  the  chief  cap- 
tain :  for  he  hath  a  certain  thing  to 
tell  him. 

18  So  he  took  him,  and  brought 
him  to  the  chief  captain,  and  said, 
Paul  the  prisoner  called  me  unto  him, 
and  prayed  me  to  bring  this  young 
man  unto  thee,  who  hath  something 
to  say  unto  thee. 

19  Then  the  chief  captain  took  him 
by  the  hand,  and  went  with  him  aside 
privately,  and  asked  hi??i,  What  is 
that  thou  hast  to  tell  me  ? 

20  And  he  said,  ''The  Jews  have 
agreed  to  desire  thee  that  thou  would- 
est  bring  down  Paul  to  morrow  into 
the  council,  '^as  though  they  would 
inquire  some  what  of  him  more  per- 
fectly. 

21  But  do  not  thou  yield  unto  them: 
*for  there  lie  in  wait  for  him  of  them 
more  than  forty  men,  which  have 
bound  themselves  with  an  oath,  that 
they  will  neither  eat  nor  drink  till 
tliey  have  killed  him  :  and  now  are 
they  ready,  looking  for  a  promise 
from  thee. 

22  So  the  chief  captain  then  let  the 
young  man  depart,  and  charged  him, 
See  thou  tell  no  man  that  thou  hast 
shewed  these  things  to  me.

the  more  cheerfully  answer  for  my-

have  a  convenient  season,  I  will  call

Jews,  If  it  were  a  matter  of  wrong  or 
wicked  lewdness,  O  ye  Jews,  reason 
would  that  I  should  bear  with  you: 

29  Whom  I  perceived  to  be  accused

nothing  laid  to  his  charge  worthy  of 
death  or  of  bonds.

This  man  might  have  been  set  at  lib- 
erty, if  he  had  not  appealed  unto  Caesar.

it,  I  was  constrained  to  appeal  unto

9  Now  when  much  time  was  spent, 
and  when  sailing  was  now  dangerous, 
"because  the  fast  was  now  already 
past,  Paul  admonished  them, 

10  And  said  unto  them,  Sirs,  I  per- 
ceive that  this  voyage  will  be  with 
^hurt  and  much  damage,  not  only  of 
the  lading  and  ship,  but  also  of  our 
rives. 

11  Nevertheless  the  centurion  be- 
lieved the  master  and  the  owner  of 
the  ship,  more  than  those  things 
which  were  spoken  by  Paul. 

12  And  because  the  haven  was  not 
commodious  to  winter  in,  the  more 
part  advised  to  depart  thence  also,  if 
by  any  means  they  might  attain  to 
Phenice,  and  there  to  winter,  which  is 
a  haven  of  Crete,  and  lieth  toward 
the  southwest  and  northwest. 

13  And  when  the  south  wind  blew 
softly,  supposing  that  they  had  ob- 
tained their  purpose,  loosing  thence, 
they  sailed  close  by  Crete. 

14  But  not  long  after  there  sarose 
against  it  a  tempestuous  wind,  called 
Euroclydon. 


15  And  when  the  ship  was  caught, 
and  could  not  bear  up  into  the  wind, 
we  let  her  drive. 

16  And  running  under  a  certain  is- 
land which  is  called  Clauda,  we  had 
much  work  to  come  by  the  boat: 

17  Which  when  they  had  taken  up, 
they  used  helps,  undergirding  the 
ship;  and,  fearing  lest  they  should 
fall  into  the  quicksands,  strake  sail, 
and  so  were  driven. 

1 8  And  we  being  exceedingly  tossed 
with  a  tempest,  the  next  day  they 
lightened  the  ship; 

19  And  the  third  day  *we  cast  out 
with  our  own  hands  the  tackling  of 
the  ship. 

20  And  when  neither  sun  nor  stars 
in  many  days  appeared,  and  no  small 
tempest  lay  on  us,  all  hope  that  we 
should  be  saved  was  then  taken  away. 

21  But  after  long  abstinence,  Paul 
stood  forth  in  the  midst  of  them,  and 
said,  Sirs,  ye  should  have  hearkened 
unto  me,  and  not  have  loosed  from 
Crete,  and  to  have  gained  this  harm 
and  loss.

27:  27-44. 

27  But  when  the  fourteenth  night 
was  come,  as  we  were  driven  up  and 
down  in  Adria,  about  midnight  the 
shipmen' deemed  that  they  drew  near 
to  some  country; 

28  And  sounded,  and  found  // 
twenty  fathoms:  and  when  they  had 
gone  a  little  further,  they  sounded 
again,  and  found  it  fifteen  fathoms. 

29  Then  fearing  lest  we  should  have 
fallen  upon  rocks,  they  cast  four  an- 
chors out  of  the  stern,  and  wished 
for  the  day. 

30  And  as  the  shipmen  were  about 
to  flee  out  of  the  ship,  when  they  had 
let  down  the  boat  into  the  sea,  under 
colour  as  though  they  would  have 
cast  anchors  out  of  the  foreship, 

31  Paul  said  to  the  centurion  and 
to  the  soldiers.  Except  these  abide 
in  the  ship,  ye  cannot  be  saved. 

32  Then  the  soldiers  cut  off  the 
ropes  of  the  boat,  and  let  her  fall  off. 

2,2i  And  while  the  day  was  coming 
on,  Paul  besought  thein  all  to  take 
meat,  saying.  This  day  is  the  four- 
teenth day  that  ye  have  tarried  and 
continued  fasting,  having  taken  noth- 
ing. 

34  Wherefore  I  pray  you  to  take 
some  meat;  for  this  is  for  your  health : 
for  "there  shall  not  an  hair  fall  from 
the  head  of  any  of  you. 

35  And  when  he  had  thus  spoken, 
he  took  bread,  ^and  gave  thanks  to 
God  in  presence  of  them  all;  and 
when  he  had  broken  //,  he  began  to 
eat. 

36  Then  were  they  all  of  good 
.cheer,  and  they  also  took  some  meat.

37  And  we  were  in  all  in  the  ship 
two  hundred  threescore  and  sixteen 
''souls. 

■^^  And  when  they  had  eaten  enough, 
they  lightened  the  ship,  and'^cast  out 
the  wheat  into  the  sea. 

39  And  when  it  was  day,  they  knew 
not  the  land:  but  they  discovered  a 
certain  creek  with  a  shore,  into  the 
which  they  were  minded,  if  it  were 
possible,  to  thrust  in  the  ship. 

40  And  when  they  had  Haken  up 
the  anchors,  they  committed  them- 
selves unto  the  sea,  and  loosed  the 
rudder  bands,  and  hoised  up  the 
mainsail  to  the  wind,  and  made  to- 
ward shore. 

41  And  falling  into  a  place  where 
two  seas  met,  ^'they  ran  the  ship 
aground;  and  the  forepart  stuck  fast, 
and  remained  unmoveable,  but  the 
hinder  part  was  broken  with  the  vio- 
lence of  the  waves. 

42  And  the  soldiers'  counsel  %as 
to  kill  the  prisoners,  lest  any  of  them 
should  swim  out,  and  escape. 

43  But  the  centurion,  ^willing  to 
save  Paul,  kept  them  from  their  pur- 
pose; and  commanded  that  they 
which  could  swim  should  cast  theiti- 
s elves  ^Ysiintothesea,  and  get  to  land: 

44  And  the  rest,  some  on  boards, 
and  some  on  broken  pieces  of  the

they  escaped  all  safe  to  land.

17  And  it  came  to  pass,  that  after 
three  days  Paul  called  the  chief  of 
the  Jews  together  :  and  when  they 
were  come  together,  he  said  unto 
them,  Men  and  brethren,  "though  I 
have  committed  nothing  against  the 
people,  or  customs  of  our  fathers, 
yet  ^was  I  delivered  prisoner  from 
Jerusalem  into  the  hands  of  the  Ro- 
mans.

me,  would  have  let  vie  go,  because 
there  was  no  cause  of  death  in  me. 

19  Butwhen  the  Jews  spake  against 
//,  *^I  was  constrained  to  appeal  unto 
Caesar  ;  not  that  I  had  aught  to  ac- 
cuse my  nation  of. 

20  For  this  cause  therefore  have  I 
called  for  you,  to  see  you,  and  to 
speak  with  you:  because  that  ^for 
the  hope  of  Israel  I  am  bound  with 
^this  chain. 

21  And  they  said  unto  him.  We 
neither  received  letters  out  of  Judea 
concerning  thee,  neither  any  of  the 
brethren  that  came  shewed  or  spake 
any  harm  of  thee. 

22  But  we  desire  to  hear  of  thee 
what  thou  thinkest :  for  as  concern-

God  for  his  mercy;  as  it  is  written,  For 
this  cause  I  will  confess  to  thee  among 
the  Gentiles,  and  sing  unto  thy  name. 

10  And  again  he  saith,  Rejoice,  ye 
Gentiles,  with  his  people. 

1 1  And  again.  Praise  the  Lord,  all  ye 
Gentiles;  and  laud  him,  all  ye  people. 

12  And  again,  Esaias  saith,  There 
shall  be  a  root  of  Jesse,  and  he  that 
shall  rise  to  reign  over  the  Gentiles;  in 
him  shall  the  Gentiles  trust. 

13  Now  the  God  of  hope  fill  you  with 
all  joy  and  peace  in  believing,  that  ye 
may  abound  in  hope,  through  the  power 

'     of  the  Holy  Ghost. 

14  And  I  myself  also  am  persuaded 
of  you,  my  brethren,  that  ye  also  are 
full  of  goodness,  filled  with  all  knowl- 
edge, able  also  to  admonish  one  an- 
other.

dwelt  among  us,  (and  we  beheld  his

God,  purge  your  conscience  from  dead 
works  to  serve  the  living  God?

for  sins,  the  just  for  the  unjust,  that  he 
might  bring  us  to  God,  being  put  to 
death  in  the  flesh,  but  quickened  by 
the  Spirit:

unto  me,  to  every  man  that  is  among 
you,  not  to  think  of  himself  more 
highly  than  he  ought  to  think;  but  to 
think  soberly,  according  as  God  hath 
dealt  to  every  man  the  measure  of  faith. 

Rom. 15.  15  Nevertheless, brethren,  I  have  writ- 
ten the  more  boldly  unto  you  in  some 
sort,  as  putting  you  in  mind,  because 
of  the  grace  that  is  given  to  me  of  God,

what  I  am:  and  his  grace  which  %vas

10  Making  request,  if  by  any  means 
now  at  length  I  might  have  a  pros- 
perous journey  ^by  the  will  of  God 
to  come  unto  you. 

11  For  Ilong  tosee  you,  that-^I  may 
impart  unto  you  some  spiritual  gift, 
to  the  end  ye  may  be  established  ; 

12  That  is,  that  I  may  be  com- 
forted together  swith  you  by  ^the 
mutual  faith  both  of  you  and  me. 

13  Now  I  would  not  have  you  igno- 
rant, brethren,  that  oftentimes  I  pur- 
posed to  come  unto  you,  (but  '*was 
let  hitherto, )  that  I  might  have  some 
*fruit2among  you  also,  even  as  among 
other  Gentiles. 

14  *I  am  debtor  both  to  the  Greeks, 
and  to  the  Barbarians  ;  both  to  the 
wise,  and  to  the  unwise. 

15  So,  as  much  as  in  me  is,  I  am 
ready' to  preach  the  gospel  to  you 
that  are  at  Rome  also. 

16  For 'I  am  not  ashamed  of  the 
gospel  of  Christ :  for  ""it  is  the  power 
of  God  unto  salvation  to  every  one 
that  believeth  ;  "to  the  Jew  first,  and 
also  to  the  Greek.

10  I  have  not  hid  thy  righteousness 
within  my  heart;  I  have  declared  thy 
faithfulness  and  thy  salvation:  I  have 
not  concealed  thy  lovingkindness  and 
thy  truth  from  the  great  congregation.

I  Cor.  I.  18  For  the  preaching  of  the  cross  is

18  For^the  wrath  of  God  is  revealed 
from  heaven  against  all  ungodliness 
and  unrighteousness  of  men,  who 
hold  the  truth  in  unrighteousness ; 

19  Because  Hhat  which  may  be 
known  of  God  is  manifest  'in  them  ; 
"for  God  hath  shewed  //  unto   them. 

20  For  '^the  invisible  things  of  him 
from  the  creation  of  the  world  are 
clearly  seen,  being  understood  by 
the  things  that  are  made,  even  his 
eternal  power  and  Godhead;  ^so  that 
they  are  without  excuse  : 

21  Because  that,  when  they  knew 
God,  they  glorified  hi7n  not  as  God, 
neither  were  thankful;  but  ^became 
vain  in  their  imaginations,  and  their 
foolish  heart  was  darkened. 

22  -Trofessing  themselves  to  be 
wise,  they  became  fools, 

23  And  changed  the  glory  of  the 
uncorruptible  ''God  into  an  image 
made  like  to  corruptible  man,  and  to 
birds,  and  fourfooted  beasts,  and 
creeping  things. 

24  ^Wherefore  God  also  gave  them 
up  to  uncleanness,  through  the  lusts 
of  their  own  hearts, 'to  dishonour  their 
own  bodies  ^between  themselves  :

"4nto  a  lie,  and  worshipped  and 
served  the  creature  ^more  than  the 
Creator,  who  is  blessed  for  ever.

that  he  may  be  gracious  unto  you,  and 
therefore  will  he  be  exalted,  that  he 
may  have,  mercy  upon  you:  for  the

not  willing  that  any  should  perish,  but 
that  all  should  come  to  repentance.

mercy:  for  thou  renderest  to  every 
man  according  to  his  work.

thy  soul,  doth  not  he  know  it  ?  and 
shall  not  he  render  to  every  man  ac- 
cording to  his  works? 

10  I  the  Lord  search  the  heart,  / 
try  the  reins,  even  to  give  every  man 
accoi-ding  to  his  ways,  and  according 
to  the  fruit  of  his  doings. 

19  Great  in  counsel,  and  mighty  in 
work:  for  thine  eyes  «;-<?  open  upon  all 
the  ways  of  the  sons  of  men:  to  give 
every  one  accordmg  to  his  ways,  and 
according  to  the  fruit  of  his  doings: 

27  For  the  Son  of  man  shall  come  in 
the  glory  of  his  Father  with  his  angels; 
and  then  he  shall  reward  every  man 
according  to  his  works.

account' of  himself  to  God.

8  Blessed  is  the  man  to  whom  the 
Lord  will  not  impute  sin. 

9  Cometh  this  blessedness  then 
upon  the  circumcision  only,  or  upon 
the  uncircumcision  also  ?  for  we  say- 
that  faith  was  reckoned  to  Abraham 
for  righteousness. 

10  How  was  it  then  reckoned  ? 
when  he  was  in  circumcision,  or  in 
uncircumcision?  Not  in  circumci-

gave  it  to  Abraham  by  promise.

20  Therefore  by  the  deeds  of  the 
law  there  shall  no  flesh  be  justified  in 
his  sight:  for  by  the  law  is  the  knowl- 
edge of  sin. 

13  (For  until  the  law  sin  was  in    the 
world:  but  sin    is    not    imputed    when 
there  is  no  law. 
5.    20  Moreover  the    law   entered,    that 
the  offence  miglit  abound.      But  where 
sin  abounded,   grace    did    much    more 
abound. 
7.   8  But   sin,    taking   occasion    by    the 
commandment,     wrought    in    me     all 
manner  of  concupiscence.      For    with- 
out the  law  sin  was  dead. 
,.    10  And    the     commandment,  .which 
7uas  ordained  to    life,    I    found    to    be 
unto  death. 

II  For  sin,  taking  occasion  by  the 
commandment,  deceived  me,  and  by 
it  slew  me. 

56  The  sting  of  death  is  sin;  and  the 
strength  of  sin  is  the  law. 

7  But  if  the  ministration  of  death, 
written  and  engraven  in  stones,  was 
glorious,  so  that  the  children  of  Is- 
rael could  not  steadfastly  behold  the 
face  of  Moses  for  the  glory  of  his 
countenance;  which  glory  was  to  be 
done  away: 
I  Cor.  3.  9  For  if  the  ministration  of  condem- 
nation be  glory,  much  more  doth  the 
ministration  of  righteousness  exceed 
in  glory. 

10  For  as  many  as  are  of  the  works 
of  the  law  are  under  the  curse:  for  it 
is  written,  Cursed  is  every  one  that 
continueth  not  in  all  things  which  are 
written  in  the  book  of  the  law  to  do 
them. 

19  Wherefore  then  serveth  the  law? 
It  was  added  because  of  transgressions, 
till  the  seed  should  come  to  whom  the 
promise  was  made;  and  it  was  ordain-

§  327.     Through  Adam  Many  Became  Sinners.     Through  Christ  Many  Become 


5  :  12-21. 

12  Wherefore,  as  "by  one  man  sin 
entered  into  the  world,  and  *death  by 
sin ;  and  so  death  passed  upon  all 
men,  ^for  that  all  have  sinned  : 

13  (For  until  the  law  sin  was  in  the 
world :  but  "sin  is  not  imputed  when 
there  is  no  law. 

14  Nevertheless  death  reigned  from 
Adam  to  Moses,  even  over  them  that 
had  not  sinned  after  the  similitude 
of  Adam's  transgression,  '^who  is  the 
figure  of  him  that  was  to  come. 

15  But  not  as  the  offence,  so  also 
is  the  free  gift.  For  if  through  the 
offence  of  one  many  be  dead,  much 
more  the  grace  of  God,  and  the  gift 
by  grace  which  is  by  one  man,  Jesus 
Christ,  hath  abounded  "unto  many. 

16  And  not  as  //  was  by  one  that 
sinned,  so  is  the  gift:  for  the  judg- 
ment was  by  one  to  condemnation, 
but  the  free  gift  is  of  many  offences 
unto  justification. 

17  For  if '^by  one  man's  offence  death 
reigned  by  one ;  much  more  they 
which  receive  abundance  of  grace 
and  of  the  gift  of  righteousness  shall 
reign  in  life  by  one,  Jesus  Christ. )

condemnation ;  even  so  ^by  the  right- 
eousness of  one   the  free  gift  came 
•''upon  all  men  unto  justification  of 
life. 

19  For  as  by  one  man's  disobedi- 
ence many  were  made  sinners,  so  by 
the  obedience  of  one  shall  many  be 
made  righteous. 

20  Moreover  ^the  law  entered,  that 
the  offence  might  abound.  But  where 
sin  abounded,  grace  did  much'^more 
abound : 

21  That  as  sin  hath  reigned  unto 
death,  even  so  might  'grace  reign 
through  righteousness  unto  eternal 
life  by  Jesus  Christ  our  Lord.

as  iwere  baptized  into  Jesus  Christ 
''were  baptized  into  his  death?

gether in  the  likeness  of  his  death, 
we  shall  be  also  in  the  likeness  of  his 
resurrection: 

6  Knowing  this,  that  *our  old  man 
is  crucified  with  him,  that  'the  body 
of  sin  might  be  destroyed,  that 
henceforth  we  should  not  serve  sin. 

7  For  "*he  that  is  dead  is  ^freed 
from  sin. 

8  Now  ^if  we  be  dead  with  Christ, 
we  believe  that  we  shall  also  live 
with  him: 

9  Knowing  that  "Christ  being  raised 
from  the  dead  dieth  no  more;  death 
hath  no  more  dominion  over  him. 

10  For  in  that  he  died,  ^he  died 
unto  sin  once:  but  in  that  he  liveth, 
'he  liveth  unto  God. 

11  Likewise  reckon  ye  also  your- 
selves to  be  Mead  indeed  unto  sin,

obey  it  in  the  lusts  thereof.

under  grace  ?  God  forbid. 

16  Know  ye  not,  that  *to  whom  ye 
yield  yourselves  servants  to  obey,  his 
servants  ye  are  to  whom  ye  obey ; 
whether  of  sin  unto  death,  or  of  obe- 
dience unto  righteousness  ? 

17  But  God  be  thanked,  that  ye 
were  the  servants  of  sin,  but  ye  have 
obeyed  from  the  heart  "that  form  of 
doctrine  Hvhich  was  delivered  you. 

18  Being  then  '^made  free  from  sin, 
ye  became  the  servants  of  righteous-

19  I  speak  after  the  manner  of  men 
because  of  the  infirmity  of  your  flesh: 
for  as  ye  have  yielded  your  members 
servants  to  uncleanness  and  to  in- 
iquity unto  iniquity  ;  even  so  now 
yield  your  members  servants  to  right-

18  For  I  reckon  that  "the  suffer- 
ings of  this  present  time  are  not 
worthy  to  be  compared  with  the 
glory  which  shall  be  revealed  in  us. 

19  For  *the  earnest  expectation  of 
the  creature  waiteth  for  the  "mani-

20  For  '^the  creature  was  made 
subject  to  vanity,  not  willingly,  but 
by  reason  of  him  who  hath  sub- 
jected the  same  in  hope; 

21  Because  the  creature  itself  also 
shall  be  delivered  from  the  bondage 
of  corruption  into  the  glorious  lib- 
erty of  the  children  of  God. 

22  For  we  know  that  Hhe  whole 
creation  *groaneth  and  travaileth  in 
pain  together  until  now. 

23  And  not  only  they,  but  our- 
selves also,  which  have  •''the  first- 
fruits  of  the  Spirit,  ^even  we  our- 
selves, groan  within  ourselves  *wait- 
ing  for  the  adoption,  towit,  the  're- 
demption of  our  body. 

24  For  we  are  saved  by  hope:  but 
*hope  that  is  seen  is  not  hope:  for 
what  a  man  seeth,  why  doth  he  yet 
hope  for  ? 

25  But  if  we  hope  for  that  we  see 
not,  then  do  we  with  patience  wait 
for  it. 


IlCor.4.  17  For  our  Hght  affliction,  which  is

Heb.  II.  35  Women  received  their  dead  raised

I  Pet.  I.    6  Wherein  ye  greatly  rejoice,  though 
now  for  a  season,  if  need  be,  ye  are  in 
heaviness    through   manifold    tempta- 
,         tions: 

7  That  the  trial  of  your  faith,  being 
much  more  precious  than  of  gold  that 
perisheth,  though  it  be  tried  with  fire, 
might  be  found  unto  praise  and  honor 
and  glory  at  the  appearing  of  Jesus 
Christ: 

I  Pet.  4.    13  But  rejoice,   inasmuch   as  ye  are

him  that  made  it.  He  made  me  not?  or

it  not  by  faith,  but  as  it  were  by  the

§  337.     The  Jews  Though  Zealous,  Erred  in  Their  Knowledge  of  God's  Right- 


10:  1-15. 

1  Brethren,  my  heart's  desire  and 
prayer  to  God  for  Israel  is,  that  they 
might  be  saved. 

2  For  I  bear  them  record  "that  they 
have  a  zeal  of  God,  but  not  accord- 
ing to  knowledge. 

3  For  they,  being  ignorant  of  ^God's 
righteousness,  and  going  about  to 
establish  their  ''own  righteousness, 
have  not  submitted  themselves  unto 
the  righteousness  of  God. 

4  For  <*Christ  is  the  end  of  the  law 
for  righteousness  to  every  one  that 
believeth. 

5  For  Moses  describeth  the  right- 
eousness which  is  of  the  law,  *That 
the  man  which  doeth  those  things 
shall  live  by  them. 

6  But  the  righteousness  which  is  of 
faith  speaketh  on  this  wise,  •''Say  not 
in  thine  heart,  Who  shall  ascend  into 
heaven?  (that  is,  to  bring  Christ 
down  from  above:') 

7  Or,  Who  shall  descend  into  the 
deep?  (that  is,  to  bring  up  Christ 
again  from  the  dead.) 

8  But  what  saith  it?  The  s'word  is 
nigh  thee,  even  in  thy  mouth,  and  in 
thy  heart:  that  is,  the  word  of  faith, 
which  we  preach; 

9  That  '^if  thou  shalt  confess  with 
thy  mouth  the  Lord  Jesus,  and  shalt 
believe  in  thine  heart  that  God  hath 
raised  him  from  the  dead,  thou  shalt 
be  saved. 

10  For  *with  the  heart  man  believeth 
unto   righteousness;     and    with    the  » 
mouth  confession  is  made  unto  sal- 
vation.

soever  believeth  on  him  shall  not  be

and  severity  of  God:   on  them  which 


II  :  13-24. 

13  For  I  speak  to  you  Gentiles,  in- 
asmuch as  "I  am  the  apostle  of  the 
Gentiles,  I  magnify  mine  office  : 

14  If  by  any  means  I  may  provoke 
to  emulation  the7n  which  are  my  flesh, 
and  ''might  save  some  of  them. 

15  For  if  the  casting  away  of  them 
be  the  reconciling  of  the  world,  what 
shall  the  receiving  of  them  be^  but 
life  from  the  dead  ? 

16  For  if  ''the  firstfruit  be  holy,  the 
lump  is  also  holy:  and  if  the  root  be 
holy,  so  are  the  branches. 

17  And  if  '^some  of  the  branches  be 
broken  off,  "and  thou,  being  a  wild 
olive  tree,  wert  grafted  Mn  among 
them,  and  with  them  partakest  of  the 
root  and  fatness  of  the  olive  tree; 

18  -^Boast  not  against  the  branches. 
But  if  thou  boast,  thou  bearest  not 
the  root,  but  the  root  thee. 

19  Thou  wilt  say  then.  The  branch- 
es were  broken  off,  that  I  might  be 
grafted  in. 

20  Well  ;  because  of  unbelief  they 
were  broken  off,  and  thou  standest 
by  faith.  ^'Be  not  highminded,  '^but 
fear: 

21  For  if  God  spared  not  the  nat- 
ural branches,  take  heed  lest  he  also 


fell,  severity;  but  toward  thee,  good- 
ness, *if  thou  continue  in  his  good- 
ness: otherwise  *thou  also  shalt  be 
cut  off. 

23  And  they  also,  ^if  they  abide  not 
still  in  unbelief,  shall  be  grafted  in: 
for  God  is  able  to  graff  them  in  again. 

24  For  if  thou  wert  cut  out  of  the 
olive  tree  which  is  wild  by  nature, 
and  wert  grafted  contrary  to  nature 
into  a  good  olive  tree;  how  much

23  But  now  having  no  more  place  in 
these  parts,  and"*having  a  great  desire 
these  many  years  to  come  unto  you; 

24  Whensoever  I  take  my  journey 
into  Spain,  I  will  come  to  you:  for 
I  trust  to  see  you  in  my  journey,  and 
to  be  brought  on  my  way  thitherward 
by  you,  if  first  I  be  somewhat  filled 
awith  your  company. 

25  But  now  "I  go  unto  Jerusalem  to 
minister  unto  the  saints. 

26  For  "it  hath  pleased  them  of 
Macedonia  and  Achaia  to  make  a 
certain  contribution  for  the  poor 
saints  which  are  at  Jerusalem. 

27  It  hath  pleased  them  verily;  and 
their  debtors  they  are.  For  ^if  the 
Gentiles  have  been  made  partakers 
of  their  spiritual  things,  ^their  duty  is 
also  to  minister  unto  them  in  carnal 
things. 

28  When  therefore  I  have  performed 
this,  and  have  sealed  to  them  '"this 
fruit,  I  will  come  by  you  into  Spain. 

29  'And  I  am  sure  that,  when  I 
come  unto  you,  I  shall  come  in  the 
fulness  of  the  blessing  of  the  gospel 
of  Christ. 

30  Now  I  beseech  you,  brethren, 
for  the  Lord  Jesus  Christ's  sake,  and 


Chap.  15. 
for   the   love   of  the   Spirit,  that   ye 
strive  together  with  me  in  your  pray- 
ers to  God  for  me; 

31  That  I  may  be  delivered  from 
them  that  ^do  not  believe  in  Judea; 
and  that  ''my  service  which  /  have 
for  Jerusalem  may  be  accepted  of  the 
saints ; 

32  ""That  I  may  come  unto  you  witn 
joy  ^by  the  will  of  God,  and  may 
with  you  be  ^refreshed.

i8  For  the  preaching  of  the   cross 
is  to  "them  that  perish,  ^foolishness ; 
but  unto  us  which   are   saved    it  is 
the  ''power  of  God. 

19  For  it  is  written,  *^I  will  destroy 
the  wisdom  of  the  wise,  and  will 
bring  to  nothing  the  understanding 
of  the  prudent. 

20  *Where  is  the  wise?  where  is  the 
scribe?  where  is  the  disputer  of  this

the  wisdom  of  this  world? 

21  ^For  after  that  in  the  wisdom  of 
God  the  world  by  wisdom  knew  not 
God,  it  pleased  God  by  the  foolish-

believe.

and  the    Greeks  seek  after  wisdom :

25  Because  the  foolishness  of  God 
is  wiser  than  men  ;  and  the  weakness 
of  God  is  stronger  than  men. 

26  For  ye  see  your  calling,  breth-

after  the  flesh,  not  many  mighty,  not 
many  noble,  are  called :

7  But  we  speak  the  wisdom  of  God 
in  a  mystery,  even  the  hidden  wisdo?n, 
"'which  God  ordained  before  the 
world  unto  our  glory  :

this  world  knew  :  for  "had  they  known 
j't,  they  would  not  have  crucified  the 
I^ord  of  glory. 

9  But  as  it  is  written,  ^Eye  hath 
not  seen,  nor  ear  heard,  neither  have 
entered  into  the  heart  of  man,  the 
things  which  God  hath  prepared  for 
them  that  love  him. 

10  ''But  God  hath  revealed  thetn 
unto  us  by  his  Spirit :  for  the  Spirit 
searcheth  all  things,  yea,  the  deep 
things  of  God.

of  a  man,  '"save  the  spirit  of  man 
which  is  in  him?  *even  so  the  things 
of  God  knoweth  no  man,  but  the 
Spirit  of  God. 

12  Now  we  have  received,  not  the 
spirit  of  the  world,  but  'the  Spirit 
which  is  of  God;  that  we  might 
know  the  things  that  are  freely  given 
to  us  of  God. 

13  "Which  things  also  we  speak, 
not  in  the  words  which  man's  wis- 
dom teacheth,  but  which  the  Holy 
Ghost  teacheth;  comparing  spiritual 
things  with  spiritual. 

14  ^But  the  natural  man  receiveth 
not  the  things  of  the  Spirit  of  God  : 
^for  they  are  foolishness  unto  him  : 
^neither  can  he  know  tke?n,  because 
they  are  spiritually  discerned.

360.  REBUKE  FOR  GOING  TO  LAW  WITH  ONE  ANOTHER,  AND  THAT  BEFORE 


6  :  i-ii. 

1  Dare  any  of  you,  having  a  matter 
against  another,  go  to  law  before  the 
unjust,  and  not  before  the  saints? 

2  Do  ye  not  know  that  ''the  saints 
shall  judge  the  world?  and  if  the 
world  shall  be  judged  by  you,  are 
ye  unworthy  to  judge  the  smallest 
matters? 

3  Know  ye  not  that  we  shall  ^judge 
angels  ?  how  much  more  things  that 
pertain  to  this  life  ? 

4  ''If  then  ye  have  judgments  of 
things  pertaining  to  this  life,  set  them 
to  judge  who  are  least  esteemed  in 
the  church. 

5  I  speak  to  your  shame.  Is  it  so, 
that  there  is  not  a  wise  man  among 
you  ?  no,  not  one  that  shall  be  able 
to  judge  between  his  brethren? 

6  But  brother  goeth  to  law  with 
brother,  and  that  before  the  unbe- 
lievers. 

7  Now  therefore  there  is  utterly  a 
fault  among  you,  because  ye  go  to 
law  one  with  another.  ''Why  do  ye 
not  rather  take  wrong  ?  Why  do  ye 
not  rather  suffer  yourselves  to  be  de- 
frauded? 

8  Nay,  ye  do  wrong,  and  defraud, 
*and  that  your  brethren. 

9  Know  ye  not  that  the  unrighteous 
shall  not  inherit  the  kingdom  of 
God?  Be  not  deceived:  -^neither for- 
nicators, nor  idolators,  nor  adulter- 
ers, nor  effeminate,  nor  abusers  of 
themselves  with  mankind, 

10  Nor  thieves,  nor  covetous,  nor 
drunkards,  nor  revilers,  nor  extor- 
tioners, shall  inherit  the  kingdom  of 
God. 

11  And  ^such  were  some  of  you: 
'^but  ye  are  washed,  but  ye  are  sanc- 
tified, but  ye  are  justified  in  the 
name  of  the  Lord  Jesus,  and  by  the 
Spirit  of  our  God, 


Ps.  49.  14  Like  sheep  they  are  laid  in  the

them  in  the  morning  ;  and  their  beauty- 
shall  consume  in  the  grave  from  their 
dwelling. 

Ps.  149.  5  Let  the  saints  be  joyful  in  glory: 
let  them  sing  aloud  upon  their  beds. 

6  Let  the  high  praises  of  God  de  in 
their  mouth,  and  a  twoedged  sword  in 
their  hand;

heathen  a«^ punishments  upon  the  peo- 
ple; 

8  To  bind  their  kings  with  chains, 
and  their  nobles  with  fetters  of  iron; 

9  To  execute  upon  them  the  judg- 
ment written  :  this  honour  have  all

of  the  Most  High;  and  the  time  came 
that  the  saints  possessed  the  kingdom.

of  his  glory,  ye  also  shall  sit  upon 
twelve  thrones,  judging  the  twelve 
tribes  of  Israel. 

Luke22.  30  That  ye  may  eat  and  drink  at  my 
table  in  my  kingdom,  and  sit  on  thrones 
judging  the  twelve  tribes  of  Israel.

keepeth  my  works  unto  the  end,  to 
him  will  I  give  power  over  the  nations? 

Rev.  3.  21  To  him  that  overcometh  will  I 
grant  to  sit  with  me  in  my  throne,  even 
as  I  also  overcame,  and  am  set  down 
with  my  Father  in  his  throne. 

Rev.  20.  4  And  I  saw  thrones,  and  they  sat 
upon  them,  and  judgment  wAs  given 
unto  them:  and  /  saw  the  souls  of  them

be  pleased  to  dwell  with  her,  let  her 
not  leave  him. 

14  For  the  unbelieving  husband  is 
sanctified  by  the  wife,  and  the  un- 
believing wife  is  sanctified  by  the 
husband:  else  ''were  your  children 
unclean;  but  now  are  they  holy. 

15  But  if  the  unbelieving  depart, 
let  him  depart.  A  brother  or  a  sis-

be  faithful.

hast  not  sinned ;  and  if  a  virgin 
marry,  she  hath  not  sinned.  Never-

for  the  things  that  are  of  the  world,

behaveth  himself  uncomely  toward 
his  virgin,  if  she  pass  the  flower  of 
her  age,  and  need  so  require,  let  him 
do  what  he  will,  he  sinneth  not :  let

that  he  will  keep  his  virgin,  doeth

to  drink? 

5  Have  we  not  power  to  lead  about 
a  sister,  a  Vife,  as  well  as  other

vineyard,  and  eateth  not  of  the  fruit 
thereof  ?  or  who  'feedeth  a  flock,  and 
eateth  not  of  the  milk  of  the  flock? 

8  Say  I  these  things  as  a  man  ?  or 
saith  not  the  law  the  same  also  ? 

9  For  it  is  written  in  the  law  of 
Moses,  '"Thou  shalt  not  muzzle  the 
mouth  of  the  ox  that  treadeth  out 
the  corn.  Doth  God  take  care  for 
oxen? 

10  Or  saith  he  li  altogether  for  our 
sakes  ?  For  our  sakes,  no  doubt,  this 
is  written:  that  "he  that  plougheth 
should  plough  in  hope;  and  that  he 
that  thresheth  in  hope  should  be  par- 
taker.of  his  hope. 

1 1  "If  we  have  sown  unto  you  spirit- 
ual things,  is  it  a  great  thing  if  we 
shall  reap  your  carnal  things? 

12  If  others  be  partakers  of  this

12:  12-31. 

1 2  For  "as  the  body  is  one,  and  hath 
many  members,  and  all  the  members 
of  that  one  body,  being  many,  are 
one  body:  ^so  also  is  Christ. 

13  For  "by  one  Spirit  are  we  all 
baptized  into  one  body,  '^whether  we 
be  Jews  or  ^Gentiles,  whether  we  be 
bond  or  free;  and  *have  been  all  made 
to  drink  into  one  Spirit. 

14  For  the  body  is  not  one  mem- 
ber, but  many. 

15  If  the  foot  shall  say.  Because  I 
am  not  the  hand,  I  am  not  of  the 
body;  is  it  therefore  not  of  the  body? 

16  And  if  the  ear  shall  say,  Because 
I  am  not  the  eye,  I  am  not  of  the 
body;  is  it  therefore  not  of  the  body  ? 

17  If  the  whole  body  were  an  eye, 
where  were  the  hearing?  If  the 
whole  were  hearing,  where  were  the 
smelling? 

18  But  now  hath  ■''God  set  the  mem- 
bers every  one  of  them  in  the  body, 
^as  it  hath  pleased  him. 

19  And  if  they  were  all  one  mem- 
ber, where  were  the  body  ? 

20  But  now  are  they  many  mem- 
bers, yet  but  one  body. 

21  And  the  eye  cannot  say  unto 
the  hand,  I  have  no  need  of  thee: 
nor  again  the  head  to  the  feet,  I  have 
no  need  of  you. 

22  Nay,  much  more  those  members 
of  the  body,  which  seem  to  be  more 
feeble,  are  necessary: 

23  And  those  members  of  the  body, 
which  we  think  to  be  less  honour- 
able, upon  these  we  ^bestow  more 
abundant  honour;  and  our  uncomely 


Chap.  12. 
parts   have  more  abundant  comeli- 
ness. 

24  For  our  comely  parts  have  no 
need:  but  God  hath  tempered  the 
body  together,  having  given  more 
abundant  honour  to  that/^r/  which 
lacked: 

25  That  there  should  be  ^no  schism 
in  the  body;  but  that  the  members 
should  have  the  same  care  one  for 
another. 

26  And  whether  one  member  suffer, 
all  the  members  suffer  with  it;  or 
one  member  be  honoured,  all  the 
members  rejoice  with  it. 

27  Now  *ye  are  the  body  of  Christ, 
and  members  in  particular. 

28  And  God  hath  set  some  In  the 
church,  first  *apostles,  secondarily 
^prophets,  thirdly  teachers,  after  that 
'miracles,  then  '"gifts  of  healings, 
''helps,  "governments,  diversities  of 
tongues. 

29  Are  all  apostles?  are  all  proph- 
ets? are  all  teachers?  are  all  ^work- 
ers  of  miracles? 

30  Have  all  the  gifts  of  healing? 
do  all  speak  with  tongues?  do  all  in- 
terpret? 

31  But  ^covet  earnestly  the  best 
gifts:  and  yet  shew  I  unto  you  a 
more  excellent  way.

kinds  of  voices  in   the  world,    and 
none  of  them  is  without  signification. 

11  Therefore  if  I  know  not  the 
meaning  of  the  voice,  I  shall  be  unto 
him  that  speaketh  a  barbarian,  and 
he  that  speaketh  shall  be  a  barbarian 
unto  me. 

12  Even  so  ye,  forasmuch  as  ye  are 
zealous  ^of  spiritual  gifts,  seek  that 
ye  may  excel  to  the  edifying  of  the 
church. 

13  Wherefore  let  him  that  speaketh 
in  an  unknown  tongue  pray  that  *he 
may  interpret. 

14  For  if  I  pray  in  an  unknown 
tongue,  my  spirit  prayeth,  but  my 
understanding  is  unfruitful. 

15  What  is  it  then?  I  will  pray  with 
the  spirit,  and  I  will  pray  with  the 
understanding  also  :  *Iwill  sing  with 
the  spirit,  and  I  will  sing  'with  the 
understanding  also. 

16  Else,  when  thou  shalt  bless  with 
the  spirit,  how  shall  he  that  occu- 
pieth  the  room  of  the  unlearned  say 
"'Amen  at  thy  giving  of  thanks,  seeing 
he  understandeth  not  what  thou 
sayest? 

17  For  thou  verily  givest  thanks 
well,  but  the  other  is  not  edified. 

18  I  thank  my  God,  I  speak  with 
tongues  more  than  ye  all: 

19  Yet  in  the  church  I  had  rather 
speak  five  words  with  my  understand- 
ing, that  by  my  voice  I  might  teach 
others  also,  than  ten  thousand  words 
in  an  unknown  tongue.

35  But  some  vian  will  say,  "How- 
are  the  dead  raised  up?  and  with 
what  body  do  they  come? 

36  Thou  fool,  *that  which  thou  sow- 
est  is  not  quickened,  except  it  die : 

37  And  that  which  thou  sowest, 
thou  sowest  not  that  body  that  shall 
be,  but  bare  grain,  it  may  chance  of 
wheat,  or  some  other  grain  : 

■T^Z  But  God  giveth  it  a  body  as  it 
hath  pleased  him,  and  to  every  seed 
his  own  body. 

39  All  flesl  /i- not  the  same  flesh: 
but  there  is  one  kind  of  ^tsh  of  men, 
another  flesh  of  beasts,  another  of 
fishes,  ^;?^  another  of  birds. 

40  There  are  also  celestial  bodies, 
and  bodies  terrestrial:  but  the  glory 
of  the  celestial  is  one,  and  the  glory 
of  the  terrestrial  is  another. 

41  There  is  one  glory  of  the  sun, 
and  another  glory  of  the  moon,  and 
another  glory  of  the  stars  :  for  one 
star  differeth  from  another  star  in 
glory. 

42  ""So  also  is  the  resurrection  of 
the  dead.  It  is  sown  in  corruption; 
it  is  raised  in  incorruption: 

43  '^It  is  sown  in  dishonour;  it  is 
raised  in  glory :  it  is  sown  in  weak- 
ness;  it  is  raised  in  power.

is  spiritual,  but  that  which  is  natural ; 
and  afterward  that  which  is  spiritual. 

47  '^The  first  man  is  of  the  earth, 
^earthy  :  the  second  man  is  the  Lord 
*from  heaven. 

48  As  is  the  earthy,  such  are  they 
also  that  are  earthy:  'and  as  is  the 
heavenly,  such  are  they  also  that  are 
heavenly.

by  the  consolation  wherewith  he  was

your  earnest  desire,  your  mourning, 
your  fervent  mind  toward  me;  so  that 
I  rejoiced  the  more,

I  did  repent:  for  I  perceive  that  the

9  Now  I  rejoice,  not  that  ye  were

^after  a  godly  manner,  that  ye  might 
receive  damage  by  us  in  nothing.

lest  our  boasting  of  you  should  be

come  with  me,  and  find  you  unpre-

to  exhort  the  brethren,  that  they 
would  go  before  unto  you,  and  make 
up  beiorehand  your  'bounty,  "where-

4  Neither  give  heed  to  fables  and  end- 
less genealogies,  which  minister  ques- 
tions, rather  than  godly  edifying  which 
is  in  faith:  so  do. 

I  Tim.  4.  I  Now  the  Spirit  speaketh  expressly, 
that  in  the  latter  times  some  shall  de- 
part from  the  faith,  giving  heed  to  se- 
ducing spirits,  and  doctrines  of  devils;

their  conscience  seared  with  a  hot  iron; 

Heb.  13.  9  Be  not  carried  about  with  divers

profited  them  that  have  been  occupied 
therein. 

IIPet.3.  17  Ye  therefore,  beloved,  seeing  ye 
know  these  things  before,  beware  lest 
ye  also,  being  led  away  with  the  error 
of  the  wicked,  fall  from  your  own 
steadfastness.

unawares,  who  were  before  of  old  or- 
dained to  this  condemnation,  ungodly

PAUL  SOLICITS  ACKNOWLEDGEMENT  OF  HIS  APOSTLESHIP 

Chap.  12.

12  :  11-21. 
Ill  am  become  "a  fool  in  glorying; 
ye  have  compelled  me:  for  I  ought 
to  have  been  commended  of  you:  for 
Mn  nothing  am  I  behind  the  very 
chiefest  apostles,  though  "l  be  noth- 
ing. 

12  "^Truly  the  signs  of  an  apostle 
were  wrought  among  you  in  all  pa- 
tience, in  signs,  and  wonders,  and 
mighty  deeds. 

13  *For  what  is  it  wherein  ye  were 
inferior  to  other  churches,  except  // 
be  that  -^I  myself  was  not  burdensome 
to  you?  forgive  me  ^this  wrong. 

14  '^Behold,  the  third  time  I  am 
ready  to  come  to  you;  and  I  will 
not  be  burdensome  to  you ;  for  *I 
seek  not  yours,  but  you :  *for  the 
children  ought  not  to  lay  up  for  the 
parents,  but  the  parents  for  the  chil- 
dren. 

15  And  'I  will  very  gladly  spend 
and  be  spent  '"for  lyou;  though  "the 
more  abundantly  I  love  you,  the  less 
I  be  loved. 

16  But  be  it  so,  "I  did  not  burden 
you  :  nevertheless,  being  crafty,  I 
caught  you  with  guile. 

17  ^Did  I  make  a  gain  of  you  by 
any  of  them  whom  I  sent  unto  you? 


sent  a  ''brother.  Did  Titus  make  a 
gain  of  you?  walked  we  not  in  the 
same  spirit?  walked  we  not  in  the 
same  steps? 

19  *Again,  think  ye  that  we  excuse 
ourselves  unto  you  ?  we  speak  before 
God  in  Christ  :  'but  we  do  all  things, 
dearly  beloved,  for  your  edifying. 

20  For  I  fear,  lest,  when  I  come,  I

Gal.  2.  6  But  of  these  who  seemed  to  be 
somewhat,  whatsoever  they  were,  it 
maketh  no  matter  to  me;  God  accept- 
eth  no  man's  person:  for  they  who 
seemed  to  be  somewhat  in  conference 
added  nothing  to  me: 

7  But  contrariwise,  when  they  saw 
that  the  gospel  of  the  uncircumcisioii 
was  committed  unto  me,  as  the  gospei 
of  the  circumcision  was  unto  Peter; 

8  (For  he  that  wrought  effectually  in 
Peter  to  the  apostleship  of  the  circum- 
cision, the  same  was  mightly  in  me 
toward  the  Gentiles:)

ICor.15.  8  And  last  of  ail  he  was  seen  of  me 

also,  as  of  one  born  out  of  due  time. 

9  For  I  am  the  least  of  the  apostles, 
that  am  not  meet  to  be  called  an  apos- 
tle, because  I  persecuted  the  church  of 
God.

12  For  before  that  certain  came

in  vain  ?  if  it  be  yet  in  vain.

you  the  Spirit,  and  worketh  miracles

23  But  before  faith  came,  we  were

faith  which  should  afterwards  be  re- 
vealed. 

24  Wherefore  "the  law  was  our

'that  we  might  be  justified  by  faith. 

25  But  after  that  faith  is  come,  we 
are  no  longer  under  a  schoolmaster. 

26  For  ye  "are  all  the  children  of

a  name  better  than  of  sons  and  of 
daughters:  I  will  give  them  an  ever- 
lasting name,  that  shall  not  be  cut  off. 

John  I.  12  But  as  many  as  received  him,  to 
them  gave  he  power  to  become  the 
sons  of  God,  even  to  them  that  believe 
on  his  name: 

John  20.  17  Jesus  said  unto  her,  Touch  me 
not;  for  I  am  not  yet  ascended  to  my 
Father:  but  go  to  my  brethren,  and 
say  unto  them,  I  ascend  unto  my 
Father,  and  your  Father;  and  to  my 
God,  and  your  God. 

Rom.  8.  14  For  as  many  as  are  led  by  the 
Spirit  of  God,  they  are  the  sons  of  God. 

15  For  ye  have  not  received  the  spirit 
of  bondage  again  to  fear;  but  ye  have 
received  the  Spirit  of  adoption,  whereby 
we  cry,  Abba,  Father. 

16  The  Spirit  itself  beareth  witness 
with  our  spirit,  that  we  are  the  children 
of  God: 


4:1-7. 

1  Now  I  say,  That  the  heir,  as 
long  as  he  is  a  child,  differeth  nothing 
from  a  servant,  though  he  be  lord  of 
all; 

2  But  is  under  tutors  and  governors 
until  the  time  appointed  of  the 
father. 

3  Even  so  we,  when  we  were  chil- 
dren, ''were  inbondage  under  the  ^ele- 
ments of  the  world: 

4  But ''when  the  fulness  of  the  time 
was  come,  God  sent  forth  his  Son, 
'made  '-'of  a  woman,  *made  under  the 
law, 

5  •''To  redeem  them  that  were  under

[ICor.ii.  20  For  ye  suffer,  if  a  man  bring  you 
into  bondage,  if  a  man  devour  you,  if 
a  man  take  of  yon,  if  a  man  exalt  him- 
self, if  a  man  smite  you  on  the  face. 

4  And  that  because  of  false  brethren 
unawares  brought  in,  who  came  in 
privily  to  spy  out  our  liberty  which  we 
have  in  Christ  Jesus,  that  they  might 
bring  us  into  bondage:

Gal.  5.  I  Stand  fast  therefore  in  the  liberty 
wherewith  Christ  hath  made  us  free,

through  philosophy  and  vain  deceit, 
after  the  tradition  of  men,  after  the 
rudiments  of  the  world,  and  not  after

21  Tell  me,  ye  that  desire  to  be 
under  the  law,  do  ye  not  hear  the  law? 

22  For  it  is  written,  that  Abraham 
had  two  sons,  "the  one  by  a  bond- 
maid, Hhe  other  by  a  free  woman. 

23  But  he  who  was  of  the  bond- 
woman ''was  born  after  the  flesh;  "^but 
he  of  the  free  woman  was  by  prom- 
ise. 

24  Which  things  are  an  allegory; 
for  these  are  the  two  ^covenants;  the 
one  from  the  mount  '^"Sinai,  which 
genderth  to  bondage,  which  is  Agar. 

25  For  this  Agar  is  Mount  Sinai  in 
Arabia,  and  ^answereth  to  Jerusalem 
which  now  is,  and  is  in  bondage 
with  her  children. 

26  But -^Jerusalem  which  is  above 
is  free,  which  is  the  mother  of  us 
all. 

27  For  it  is  written,  ^Rejoice,  thou

and  cry,  thou  that  travailest  not,  for 
the  desolate  hath  many  more  chil- 
dren thanshe  which  hath  a  husband. 

28  Now  we,  brethren,  as  Isaac 
was,  *are  the  children  of  promise.

after  the  flesh  persecuted  him  that

only,  but  who  also  walk  in  the  steps  of 
that  faith  of  our  father  Abraham,  which 
he  had\y€\x\^ yet  uncircumcised. 

Rom.  9.  6  Not  as  though  the  word  of  God 
hath  taken  none  effect.  For  they  are 
not  all  Israel,  which  are  of  Israel: 

7  Neither,  because  they  are  the  seed 
of  Abraham,  at'e  they  all  children:  but, 
in  Isaac  shall  thy  seed  be  called. 

8  That  is,  They  which  are  the  chil- 
dren of  the  flesh,  these  are  not  the 
children  of  God:  but  the  children  of 
the  promise  are  counted  for  the  seed. 

Gal.  3.     7  Know  ye  therefore  that  they  which 

are  of  faith,  the  same  are  the  children 

of  Abraham.

heaven?  this  same  Jesus,  which  is 
taken  up  from  you  into  heaven,  shall 
so  come  in  like  manner  as  ye  have 
seen  him  go  into  heaven. 

I  Tim.  3.  16  And  without  controversy  great  is 
the  mystery  of  godliness:  God  was 
manifest  in  the  flesh,  justified  in  the

the  Gentiles,  believed  on  in  the  world, 
received  up  into  glory.

high  priest,  that  is  passed  into  the 
heavens,  Jesus  the  Son  of  God,  let  us 
hold  fast  our  profession. 

Heb.  7.  26  For  such  a  high  priest  became  us, 
who  is  holy,  harmless  undefiled,  sepa 
rate  from  sinners,  and  made  higher 
than  the  heavens: 

Heb.  8.  I  Now  of  the  things  which  we  have 
spoken  this  is  the  sum:  We  have 
such  a  high  priest,  who  is  set  on  the 
right  hand  of  the  throne  of  the 
Majesty  in  the  heavens; 

Heb.  9.  24  For  Christ  is  not  entered  into  the 
holy  places  made  with  hands,  which 
are  the  figures  of  the  true;  but  into 
heaven  itself,  now  to  appear  in  the

1  Children,  "obey  your  parents  in 
the  Lord:   for  this  is  right. 

2  'Honour  thy  father  and  mother; 
which  is  the  first  commandment 
with  promise; 

3  That  it  may  be  well  with  thee, 
and  thou  mayest  live  long  on  the 
earth. 

4  And,  ''ye  fathers,  provoke  not 
your  children  to  wrath:  but  '^bring 
them  up  in  the  nurture  and  admoni- 
tion of  the  Lord. 

5  ^Servants,  be  obedient  to  them 
that  are  your  masters  according  to 
the  flesh,  •''with  fear  and  trembling, 
^in  singleness  of  your  heart,  as  unto 
Christ; 

6  '^Not  with  eyeservice,  as  men- 
pleasers;  but  as  the  servants  of 
Christ,  doing  the  will  of  God  from 
the  heart;  * 

7  With  good  will  doing  service,  as 
to  the  Lord,  and  not  to  men: 

8  'Knowing  that  whatsoever  good 
thing  any  man  doeth,  the  same  shall 
he  receive  of  the  Lord,  ^whether  he 
be  bond  or  free. 

9  And,  ye  ^masters,  do  the  same 
things  unto  the  m,  ^ '^forbearing  threat- 
ening: knowing  that^  ^your  Master 
also  is  in  heaven;  "neither  is  there 
respect  of  persons  with  him.

Gen.  28.  7  And  that  Jacob  obeyed  his  father

I  am  the  Lord  your  God. 

Deut..ii.  18  If  a  man  have  a  stubborn  and  re- 
bellious son,  which  will  not  obey  the 
voice  of  his  father,  or  the  voice  of  his 
mother,  and  that,  when  they  have 
chastened  him,  will  not  hearken  unto 
them: 

19  Then    shall    his    father  and    his 
mother   lay   hold   on  him,  and   bring

him    out   unto    the    elders  of  his  city, 
and  unto  the  gate  of  his  place; 

Deut.  21.  20  And  they  shall  say  unto  the  elders 
of  his  city,  This  our  son  is  stubborn 
and  rebellious,  he  will  not  obey  our 
voice;  he  is  a  glutton,  and  a  drunkard. 
21  And  all  the  men  of  his  city  shall 
stone  him  with  stones,  that  he  die:  so 
shalt  thou  put  evil  away  from  among 
you;  and  all  Israel  shall  hear,  and  fear. 

Esth.  2.  20  Esther  had  not  yet  shewed  her 
kindred  nor  her  people;  as  Mordecai 
had  charged  her:  for  Esther  did  the 
commandment  of  Mordecai,  like  as 
when  she  was  brought  up  with  him. 

Prov.  1.  8  My  son,  hear  the  instruction  of  thy 
father,  and  forsake  not  the  law  of  thy

of  thy  mother: 

Prov. 23.  22  Ilearken  unto  thy  father  that  be- 
gat thee,  and  despise  not  thy  mother 
when  she  is  old. 

jer.  35.  14  The  words  of  Jonadab  the  son  of 
Rechab,  that  he  commanded  his  sons 
not  to  drink  wine,  are  performed;  for 
unto  this  day  they  drink  none,  but 
obey  their  father's  commandment: 
notwithstanding  I  have  spoken  unto 
you,  rising  early  and  speaking;  but 
ye  hearkened  not  unto  me. 

Luke  2.  51  And  he  went  down  with  them, 
and  came  to  Nazareth,  and  was  sub- 
ject unto  them:  but  his  mother  kept 
all  these  sayings  in  her  heart. 

Col.  3.  20  Children,  obey /^z/r  parents  in  all 
things:  for  this  is  well  pleasing  unto 
the  Lord. 

B 

Jer.  35.  18  And  Jeremiah  said  unto  the  house 
of  the  Rechabites,  Thus  saith  the  Lord 
of  hosts,  the  God  of  Israel;  Because 
ye  have  obeyed  the  commandment  of 
Jonadab  your  father,  and  kept  all  his 
precepts,  and  done  according  unto  all 
that  he  hath  commanded  you; 

Mai.  I.  6  A  son  honoureth  his  father,  and  a 
servant  his  master:  if  then  \  be  ^

1  Now  we  beseech  you,  brethren, 
"by  the  coming  of  our  Lord  Jesus 
Christ,  ^and  by  our  gathering  to- 
gether unto  him, 

2  ''That  ye  be  not  soon  shaken  in 
mind,  or  be  troubled,  neither  by  spirit, 
nor  by  word,  nor  by  letter  as  from  us, 
as  that  the  day  of  Christ  is  at  hand. 

3  "^Let  no  man  deceive  you  by  any 
means  :  for  that  day  shall  not  come, 
*except  there  come  a  falling  away 
first,  and  -^that  man  of  sin  be  re- 
vealed, ^the  son  of  perdition; 

4  Who  opposeth  and  "exalteth  him- 
self 'above  all  that  is  called  God,  or 
that  is  worshipped  ;  so  that  he  as 
God  sitteth  in  the  temple  of  God, 
shewing  himself  that  he  is  God. 

5  Remember  ye  not,  that,  when  I 
was  yet  with  you,  I  told  you  these 
things  ? 

6  And  now  ye  know  what  ^with- 
holdeth  that  he  might  be  revealed  in 
his  time. 

7  For  *the  mystery  of  iniquity  doth 
already  work:  only  he  who  now  let- 
teth  will  let,  until  he  be  taken  out  of 
the  way. 

8  And  then  shall  that  Wicked  be 
revealed,  Vhom  the  Lord  shall  con- 
sume ™with  the  spirit  of  his  mouth, 
and  shall  destroy  "with  the  brightness 
of  his  coming  : 

9  Even  hi?n,  whose  coming  is  "after 
the  working  of  Satan  with  all  power 
and^signs  and  lying  wonders, 

10  And  with  all  deceivableness  of 
unrighteousness  in 'them  that  perish; 
because  they  received  not  the  love  of 
the  truth,  that  they  might  be  saved. 

11  And  '■for  .this  cause  God  shall 
send  them  strong  delusion,  that  they 
should  believe  a  lie : 

12  That  they  all  might  be  damned 
who  believed  not  the  truth,  'but  had 
pleasure  in  unrighteousness.

perilous  times  shall  come.

unthankful,  unholy,

will  not  endure  sound  doctrine ;  but 
after  their  own  lusts  shall  they  heap 
to  themselves  teachers,  having  itching 
ears  : 

4  And    they    shall    turn    away    t/teir 
ears   from    the    truth,    and    shall    be 
turned  unto  fables.

they  shall  be  given  into  his  hand  until 
a  time  and  times  and  the  dividing  of 
time. 

IJno.  2.  18  Little  children,  it  is  the  last 
time  :  and  as  ye  have  heard  that 
antichrist  shall  come,  even  now  are 
there  many  antichrists  ;  whereby  vpe 
know  that  it  is  the  last  time.

for  all  men; 

2  "For  kings,  and  ^for  all  that  are  in

8  I  will  therefore  that  men  pray 
"every  where,  ^lifting  up  holy  hands, 
without  wrath  and  doubting. 

9  In  like  manner  also,  that ''women 
adorn  themselves  in  modest  apparel,

14  These  things  write  I  unto  thee, 
hoping  to  come  unto  thee  shortly: 

15  But  if  I  tarry  long,  that  thou 
mayest  know  how  thou  oughtest 
to  behave  thyself  "in  the  house  of 
God,  which  is  the  church  of  the 
living  God,  the  piller  and  Aground 
of  the  truth. 

16  And  without  controversy  great 
is  the  mystery  of  godliness:  *God 
was  smanifest  in  the  flesh,  '^justified 
in  the  Spirit,  '^seen  of  angels, 
*preached  unto  the  Gentiles,  -^be- 
lieved on  in  the  world,  ^received  up 
into  the  glory.

THE  EPISTLE  TO 


§  503.     CHRIST  BY   INHERITANCE  IS  BETTER  THAN  ANGELS 


I  :  I— 14. 

1  God,  who  at  sundry  times  and  "in 
divers  manners  spake  in  time  past 
unto  the  fathers  by  the  prophets, - 

2  Hath  ^in  these  last  days  'spoken 
unto  us  by  his  Son,  ''whom  he  hath 
appointed  heir  of  all  things,  'by 
whom  also  he  made  the  worlds  ; 

3  •''Who  being  the  brightness  of  his 
glory,  and  the  express  image  of  his 
person,  and  ^upholding  all  things  by 
the  word  of  his  power,  ^when  he  had 
by  himself  purged  our  sins,  *sat  down 
on  the  right  hand  of  the  Majesty  on 
high ; 

4  Being  made  so  much  better  than 
the  angels,  as '^he  hath  by  inheritance 
obtained  a  more  excellent  name  than 
they. 

5  For  unto  which  of  the  angels  said 
he  at  any  time,  'Thou  art  my  Son, 
this  day  have  I  begotten  thee?  And 
again,  "T  will  be  to  him  a  Father, 
and  he  shall  be  to  me  a  Son? 

6  ^And  again,  when  he  bringeth  in 
"the  firstbegotten  into  the  world,  he 
saith,  "And  let  all  the  angels  of  God 
worship  him. 

7  And  ^of  the  angels  he  saith,  ^Who 
maketh  his  angels  spirits,  and  his 
ministers  a  flame  of  fire. 

8  But  unto  the  Son  he  saith,  'Thy 
throne,  O  God,  is  for  ever  and  ever : 
a  sceptre  of  ^righteousness  is  the 
sceptre  of  thy  kingdom. 

A 
Num.  12.  4  And  the  Lord  spake  suddenly  unto 
Moses,    and    unto    Aaron,     and     unto 
Miriam,  Come  out  ye  three  unto  the 


A — Concluded. 
tabernacle  of  the  congregation.     And 
they  three  came  out. 

5  And  the  Lord  came  down  in  the 
pillar  of  the  cloud,  and  stood  in  the 
door  of  the  tabernacle,  and  called 
Aaron  and  Miriam:  and  they  both 
came  forth. 

6  And  he  said.  Hear  now  my  words: 
If  there  be  a  prophet  among  you,  / 
the  IvORD  will  make  myself  known 
unto  him  in  a  vision,  and  wdl  speak 
unto  him  in  a  dream. 

7  My  servant  Moses  is  not  so,  who  is 
faithful  in  all  mine  house. 

8  With  him  will  I  speak  mouth  to 
mouth,  even  apparently,  and  not  in 
dark  speeches;  and  the  similitude  of 
the  Lord  shall  he  behold:  wherefore 
then  were  ye  not  afraid  to  speak  against 
my  servant  Moses?

30  When  thou  art  in  tribulation,  and 
all  these  things  are  come  upon  thee, 
even  in  the  latter  days,  if  thou  turn  to 
the  Lord  thy  God,  and  shalt  be  obedi-

4  For  every  house  is  builded  by 
some  man;  but  "he  that  built  all 
things  is  God. 

5  -^And  Moses  verily  was  faithful 
in  all  his  house  as  ^a  servant,  ^for  a 
testimony  of  those  things  which  were 
to  be  spoken  after; 

6  But  Christ  as  ^a  son  over  his  own 
house;  *whose  house  are  we,  'if  we 
hold  fast  the  confidence  and  the  re- 
joicing of  the  hope  firm  unto  the  end. 

7  Wherefore  (as  '"the  Holy  Ghost 
saith,  To  day  if  ye  will  hear  his 
voice, 

8  Harden  not  your  hearts,  as  in 
the  provocation,  in  the  day  of  temp- 
tation in  the  wilderness : 

9  When  your  fathers  tempted  me, 
proved  me,  and  saw  my  works  forty 
years. 

10  Wherefore  I  was  grieved  with 
that  generation,  and  said,  They  do 
alway  err  in  their  heart;  and  they 
have  not  known  my  ways. 

1 1  So  I  sware  in  my  wrath,  ^They 
chall  not  enter  into  my  rest.) 

12  Take  heed,  brethren,  lest  there 
be  in  any  of  you  an  evil  heart  of 
unbelief,  in  departing  from  the  liv- 
ing God. 

13  But  exhort  one  another  daily, 
while  it  is  called  To  day ;  lest  any 
of  you  be  hardened  through  the  de- 
ceitfulness  of  sin. 


Rom.  I.  7  To  all  that  be  in  Rome,  beloved  of 
God,  called  to  be  saints:  Grace  to  you

for  you,  that  our  God  would  count  you 
worthy  of  this  calling,  and  fulfil  all 
the  good  pleasure  of  his  goodness,  and 
the  work  of  faith  with  power: 

llTim.i.  9  Who  hath  saved  us,  and  called  tis 
with  a  holy  calling,  not  according  to 
our  works,  but  according  to  his  own 
purpose  and  grace,  which  was  given 
us  in  Christ  Jesus  before  the  world  be- 
gan, 

IlPet.i.  10  Wherefore  the  rather,  brethren, 
give  diligence  to  make  your  calling 
and  election  sure:  for  if  ye  do  these 
things,  ye  shall  never  fall:

Rom. 1 5.  8  Now  I  say  that  Jesus  Christ  was  a

made  unto  the  fathers: 

Heb.  2.  17  Wherefore  in  all  things  it  be- 
hooved him  to  be  made  like  unto  his 
brethren,  that  he  might  be  a  merciful 
and  faithful  high  priest  in  things  per- 
taining  to  God,  to  make  reconciliation 
for  the  sins  of  the  people. 

Heb.  4.  14  Seeing  then  that  we  have  a  great 
high  priest,  that  is  passed  into  the 
heavens,  Jesus  the  Son  of  God,  let  us 
hold  fast  02(r  profession. 

Heb.  5.  5  So  also  Christ  glorified  not  himself 
to  be  made  a  high  priest;  but  he  that 
said  unto  him,  Thou  art  my  Son,  to  day 
have  I  begotten  thee. 

Heb.  6.     20  Whither  the  forerunner  is  for  us 
entered,  ez'en  Jesus,  made  a  high  priest  ■ 
for  ever  after  the  order  of  Melchisedec. 

Heb.  8.  I  Now  of  the  things  which  we  have 
spoken  this  is  the  sum:  We  have  such 
a  high  priest,  who  is  set  on  the  right 
hand  of  the  throne  of  the  INIajesty  in

4  Now  consider  how  great  this  man 

was,  "unto  whom  even  the  patriarch 
Abraham  gave  the  tenth  of  the  spoils. 

5  And  verily  *they  that  are  of  the 
sons  of  Levi,  who  receive  the  office 
of  the  priesthood,  have  a  command- 
ment to  take  tithes  of  the  people  ac- 
cording to  the  law,  that  is,  of  their 
brethren,  though  they  come  out  of 
the  loins  of  Abraham: 

6  But  he  whose  Mescent  is  not 
counted  from  them  received  tithes 
of  Abaham,  '=and  blessed  '^him  that 
had  the  promises. 

7  And  without  all  contradiction 
the  less  is  blessed  of  the  better. 

8  And  here  men  that  die  receive 
tithes;  but  there  \i^receiveih  the?n,''oi 
whom  it  is  witnessed  that  he  liveth. 

9  And  as  I  may  so  say,  Levi  also, 
who  receiveth  tithes,  paid  tithes  in 
Abraham. 

10  For  he  was  yet  in  the  loins  of  his 
father,  when  Melchisedec  met  him. 

11  -Tf  therefore  perfection  were  by 
the  Levitical  priesthood,  (for  under 


Chap.  7. 
it  the  people  received  the  law,) 
what  further  need  was  there  that 
another  priest  should  rise  after  the 
order  of  Melchisedec,  and  not  be 
called  after  the  order  of  Aaron? 

12  For  the  priesthood  being 
changed,  there  is  made  of  necessity 
a  change  also  of  the  law. 

13  For  he  of  whom  these  things 
are  spoken  pertaineth  to  another 
tribe,  of  which  no  man  gave  atten- 
dance at  the  altar. 

14  For  //  is  evident  that  ^our  Lord 
sprang  out  of  Juda;  of  which  tribe 
Moses  spake  nothing  concerning 
priesthood. 

15  And  it  is  yet  far  more  evident: 
for  that  after  the  similitude  of  Mel- 
chisedec there  ariseth  another  priest, 

16  Who  is  made,  not  after  the  law 
of  a  carnal  commandment,  butafter 
the  power  of  an  endless  life. 

17  For  he  testifieth,  ^Thou  art  a. 
priest  for  ever  after  the  order  of 
Melchisedec. 

18  For  there  is  verily  a  disannul- 
ling of  the  commandment  going  be- 
fore for  *the  weakness  and  unprofit- 
ableness thereof.

8:1-13. 

1  Now  of  the  things  which  we  have 
spoken  tJiis  is  the  sum :  We  have 
such  a  high  priest,  "who  is  set  on 
the  right  hand  of  the  throne  of  the 
Majesty  in  the  heavens; 

2  A  minister  ^of  *the  sanctuary, 
and  of  'the  true  tabernacle,  which 
the  Lord  pitched,  and  not  man. 

3  For '^every  high  priest  is  ordained 
to  offer  gifts  and  sacrifices :  where- 
fore ^it  is  of  necessity  that  this  man 
have  somewhat  also  to  offer. 

4  For  if  he  were  on  earth,  he  should 
not  be  a  priest,  seeing  that  ^there 
are  priests  that  offer  gifts  according 
to  the  law  : 

5  Who  serve  unto  the  example  and 
'shadow  of  heavenly  things,  as  Moses 
was  admonished  of  God  when  he  was 
about  to  make  the  tabernacle :  ^for, 
See,  saith  he,  ///^/ thou  make  all  things 
according  to  the  pattern  shewed  to 
thee  in  the  mount. 

6  But  now  *hath  he  obtained  a  more 
excellent  ministry,  by  how  much  also 
he  is  the  mediator  of  a  better  ^cove- 
nant, which  was  established  upon 
better  promises. 

7  'For  if  that  first  covenant  had  been 
faultless,  then  should  no  place  have 
been  sought  for  the  second. 

8  For  finding  fault  with  them,  he 
saith,  ^Behold,  the  days  come,  saith 
the  Lord,  when  I  will  make  a  new 
covenant  with  the  house  c  _srael 
and  with  the  house  of  Judah  i

the    land  of 


Egypt;  because  they  continued  not 
in  my  covenant,  and  I  regarded  them 
not,  saith  the  Lord. 

10  For 'this  is  the  covenant  that  I 
will  make  with  the  house  of  Israel 
after  those  days,  saith  the  Lord;  I 
will  *put  my  laws  into  their  mind, 
and  write  them  sin  their  hearts:  and 
"•I  will  be  to  them  a  God,  and  they 
shall  be  to  me  a  people  : 

11  And  "they  shall  not  teach  every 
man  his  neighbour,  and  every  man 
his  brother,  saying,  Know  the  Lord  : 
for  all  shall  know  me,  from  the  least 
to  the  greatest. 

12  For  I  will  be  merciful  to  their 
unrighteousness,  "and  their  sins  and 
their  iniquities  will  I  remember  no 
more. 

13  ^In  that  he  saith,  A  new  cove- 
?tanl,  he  hath  made  the  first  old. 
Now  that  which  decayeth  and  waxeth 
old  is  ready  to  vanish  away.

Q  :  i-io. 

1  Then  verily  the  first  covenant  had 
also  ^ordinances  of  divine  service, 
and  "a  worldly  sanctuary. 

2  *Forthere  was  a  tabernacle  made; 
the  first,  *wherein  was  ''the  candle- 
stick, and  "the  table,  and  the  shew- 
bread;  which  is  called^the  sanctuary. 

3  ■'And  after  the  second  vail,  the 
tabernacle  which  is  called  the  Holi- 
est of  all; 

4  Which  had  the  golden  censer, 
and  ^the  ark  of  the  covenant  over- 
laid round  about  with  gold,  wherein 
was  *the  golden  pot  that  had  manna, 
and  'Aaron's  rod  that  budded,  and 
*the  tables  of  the  covenant; 

5  And  I 'over  it  the  cherubims  of 
glory  shadowing  the  mercy  seat;  of 
which  we« cannot  now  speak  partic-

thou  shalt  put  the  testimony  tiiat  I

came  down  from  mount  Sinai  with  the 
two  tables  of  testimony  in  Moses' 
hand,  when  he  came  down  from  the 
mount,  that  Moses  wist  not  that  the

words  that  were  in  the  first  tables

put  there  at  Horeb,  when  the  Lord 
made  a  covenant  with  the  children  of 
Israel,  when  they  came  out  of  the  land 
of  Egypt.

seat,  which  is  upon  the  ark;  that

wings  of  the  cherubims. 

7  For  the  cherubims  spread  forth

16  For  where  a  testament  is,  there 
must  also  of  necessity  sbe  the  death 
of  the  testator. 

17  For  'a  testament  is  of  force 
after  men  are  dead:  otherwise  it  is 
of  no  strength  at  all  while  the  testa- 
tor liveth. 

18  "Whereupon  neither  the  first  tes- 
tament was  sdedicated  without  blood. 

19  For  when  Moses  had  spoken 
every  precept  to  all  the  people  ac- 
cording to  the  law,  *he  took  the 
blood  of  calves  and  of  goats,  ^with 
water,  and  ^scarlet  wool,  and  hyssop, 
and  sprinkled  both  the  book,  and  all 
the  people, 

20  Saying,  *This  is  the  blood  of 
tae  testament  which  God  hath  en- 
joined unto  you. 

2 1  Moreover  "he  sprinkled  likewise 
with  blood  both  ♦■he  tabernacle,  and 
all  the  vessels  of  the  ministry. 

22  And  almost  all  things  are  by  the 
law  purged  with  blood;  and  ^without 
shedding  of  blood  is  no  remission. 

23  //  was  therefore  necessary  that 
"the  patterns  of  things  in  the  heavens 
should  be  purified  with  these  ;  but 
the  hf  avenly  things  themselves  with 
better  sacrifices  than  these. 

24  For  '^Christ  is  not  entered  into 
the  holy  places  made  with  hands, 
which  are  the  figures  of  *the  true  ; 
but  into  heaven  itself,  now-''to  appear

2  For  then  Vould  they  not  have 
ceased  to  be  offered?  because  that 
the  worshippers  once  purged  should 
have  had  no  more  conscience  of 
sins. 

3  *But  in  those  sacrifices  there  is 
a  remembrance  again  made  of  sins 
every  year. 

4  For  Ht  is  not  possible  that  the 
blood  of  bulls  and  of  goats  should 
take  away  sins. 

5  Wherefore,  when  he  cometh  in-

16  And  "one  of  you  say  unto  them, 
Depart  in  peace,  be  ye  warmed  and 
filled;  notwithstanding  ye  give  them 
not  those  things  which  are  needful  to 
the  body;  what  do^/i  it  profit? 

17  Even  so  faith,  if  it  hath  not 
works,  is  dead,  being  ^alone. 

18  Yea,  a  man  may  say.  Thou  hast 
faith,  and  I  have  works:  shew  me  thy 
faith  Vithout  thy  works,  '^and  I  will 
shew  thee  my  faith  by  my  works. 

19  Thou  believest  that  there  is  one 
God;  thou  doestwell:  ^the  devils  also 
believe,  and  tremble. 

20  But  wilt  thou  know,  O  vain  man, 
that  faith  without  works  is  dead? 

21  Was  not  Abraham  our  father 
justified  by  works,  Avhen  he  had 
offered  Isaac  his  son  upon  the  altar? 

22  ^Seest  thou  ^how  faith  wrought 
with  his  works,  and  by  works  was 
faith  made  perfect? 

23  And  the  Scripture  was  fulfilled 
which  saith,'^ Abraham  believed  God, 
and  it  was  imputed  unto  him  for 
righteousness:  and^he  was  called  the 
Friend  of  God. 

24  Ye  see  then  how  that   by  works 


only. 

25  Likewise  also^was  not  Rahab  the 
^harlot  justified  by  works,  when  she 
had  received  the  messengers, and  had 
sent  them  out  another  way? 

26  For  as  the  body  without  the 
^spirit  is  dead,  so  faith  without  works 
is  dead  also.

1  The  elders  which  are  among  you 
I  exhort,  who  am  also  "an  elder,  and 
*a  witness  of  the  sufferings  of  Christ, 
and  also  *^a  partaker  of  the  glory  that 
shall  be  revealed  : 

2  '*Feed  the  flock  of  God  Vhich  is 
among  you,  taking  the  oversight 
thereof,  "not  by  constraint,  but  will- 
ingly ;  -^not  for  filthy  lucre,  but  of  a 
ready  mind  ; 

3  Neither  as  '^^being  lords  over 
^God's  heritage,  but  'being  ensam- 
ples  to  the  flock. 

4  And  when  *the  chief  Shepherd 
shall  appear,  ye  shall  receive  'a 
crown  of  glory  ""that  fadcth  not 
away. 

5  Likewise,  ye  younger,  submit 
yourselves  unto  the  elder.  Yea,  ''all 
of  you  be  subject  one  to  another, 
and  be  clothed  with  humility:  for 
"God  resisteth  the  proud,  ^and  giv- 
eth  grace  to  the  humble. 

6  'Humble  yourselves  therefore  un- 
dei  the  mighty  hand  of  God,  that 
he  may  exalt  you  in  due  time  : 

7  ''Casting  all  your  care  upon  him  ; 
for  he  careth  for  you. 

8  *Be  sober,  be  vigilant;  because 
'your  adversary  the  devil,  as  a  roar- 
ing lion,  walketh  about,  seeking 
whom  he  may  devour: 

9  "Whom  resist  steadfast  in  the 
faith,  ''knowing  that  the  same  afflic- 
tions are  accomplished  in  your 
brethren  that  are  in  the  world. 

10  But  the  God  of  all  grace,  ^vvho 
hath  called  us  unto  his  eternal  glory 
by  Christ  Jesus,  after  that  ye  have 
suffered  "3.  while,  "make  you  perfect, 
'stablish,  strengthen,  settle  you.

saith  unto  him.  Yea,  Lord;  thou  know-

me?  He  saith  unto  him,  Yea,  Lord;

saith  unto  him.  Feed  my  sheep.

Simon,  son  of  Jonas,  lovest  thou  me  ? 
Peter  was  grieved  because  he  said  unto 
him  the  third  time,  Lovest  thou  me  ? 
And  he  said  unto '  him,  Lord  thou 
knowest  all  things;  thou  knowest  that 
I  \Sve  thee.  Jesus  said  unto  him,  Feed

1  This  second  epistle,  beloved,  I 
now  write  unto  you  ;  in  both  which 
"I  stir  up  your  pure  minds  by  way 
of  remembrance  : 

2  That  ye  may  be  mindful  of  the 
words  which  were  spoken  before  by 
the  holy  prophets,  ^and  of  the  com- 
mandment of  us  the  apostles  of  the 
Lord  and  Saviour: 

3  'Knowing  this  first,  that  there 
shall  come  in  the  last  days  scoffers, 
■^walking  after  their  own  lusts, 

4  And  saying,  ^Whereis  the  promise 
of  his  coming  ?  for  since  the  fathers 
fell  asleep,  all  things  continue  as 
they  were  from  the  beginning  of  the 
creation. 

5  For  this  they  willingly  are  igno- 
rant of,  that  •''by  the  word  of  God 
the  heavens  were  of  old,  and  the 
earth  '^standing  out  of  the  water  and 
in  the  water: 

6  '^Whereby  the  world  that  then 
was,  being  overflowed  with  water, 
perished : 

7  But  'the  heavens  and  the  earth, 
which  are  now,  by  the  same  word 
are  kept  in  store,  reserved  unto  *fire 
against  the  day  of  judgment  and 
perdition  of  ungodly  men. 

8  But,  beloved,  be  not  ignorant  of 
this  one  thing,  that  one  day  is  with 
the  Lord  as  'a  thousand  years.,  and 
a  thousand  years  as  one  day. 

9  "*The  Lord  is  not  slack  concern- 
ing his  promise,  as  some  men  count 
slackness;  but  "is  longsuffering  to 
US-ward,  "not  willing  that  any  should 
perish,  but^that  all  should  come  to 
repentance. 

10  But  'the  day  of  the  Lord  will 
come  as  a  thief  in  the  night;  in  the 
which  ''the  heavens  shall  pass  away 
with  a  p^reat  noise,  and  the  elements 
shall    melt    with    fervent    heat,    the

John  I.    4  In  him  was  life;  and   the  life  was 

the  light  of  men. 
John  6      35  And  Jesus  said  unto  them,  I  am 

the  bread  of  life:   he    that  cometh   to 

me  shall  never  hunger;  and  he  that  be- 

lieveth  on  me  shall  never  thirst. 
John  II.  25.     See  p,   P,  §  121,  page  361. 
John  14    6  Jesus    saith    unto    him,  I    am  the 

way,  the  truth,  and  the   life:  no  man 

cometh  unto  the  Father,  but  by  me. 
Coi.  3.      4  When  Christ,  w/io  is  our  life,  shall 

appear,  then  shall  ye  also  appear  with 

him  in  glory.

hath  given  to  us  eternal  life,  and  this

tions for  the  obedience  of  faith: 

ITim. 3.  16  And  without  controversy  great  is 
the  mystery  of  godliness:  God  was 
manifest  in  the  flesh,  justified  in  the 
Spirit,  seen  of  angels,preached  unto  the 
Gentiles,  believed  on  in  the  world,  re- 
ceived up  into  glory.

gressions,  he  was  bruised  for  our 
iniquities:  the  chastisement  of  our 
peace  was  upon  him;  and  with  his 
stripes  we  are  healed. 

6  All  we  like  sheep  have  gone  astray; 
we  have  turned  every  one  to  his  own 
way;  and  the  Lord  hath  laid  on  him 
the  iniquity  of  us  all.

worthy  of  all  acceptation,  that  Christ 
Jesus  came  into  the  world  to  save  sin- 
ners; of  whom  I  am  chief,

glory,  and  the  express  image  of  his 
person,  and  upholding  all  things  by 
the  word  of  his  power,  when  he  had 
by  himself  purged  our  sins,  sat  down 
on  the  right  hand  of  the  Majesty  on 
high; 

26  For  then  must  he  often  have  suf- 
fered since  the  foundation  of  the 
world:  but  now  once  in  the  end  of  the 
world  hath  he  appeared  to  put  away 
sin  by  the  sacrifice  of  himself. 
2.  24  Who  his  own  self  bare  our  sins  in 
his  own  body  on  the  tree,  that  we, 
being  dead  to  sins,  should  live  unto 
righteousness:  by  whose  stripes  ye 
were  healed.

and  sent  his  Son  ^to  be  the  propitia-

11  Beloved,  *if  God  so  loved  us, 
we  ought  also  to  love  one  another. 

12  *No  man  hath  seen  God  at  any 
time.  If  we  love  one  another,  God 
dwelleth  in  us,  and  *his  love  is  per- 
fected in  us. 

13  ^Hereby  know  we  thatwe  dwell  in 
him,  and  he  in  us,  because  he  hath 
given  us  of  his  Spirit. 

14  And'^we  have  seen  and  do  testify 
that  "the  Father  sent  the  Son  to  be 
the  Saviour  of  the  world. 

15  "Whosoever  shall  confess  that 
Jesus  is  the  Son  of  God,  God  dwell- 
eth in  him,  and  he  in  God. 

16  And  we  have  known  and  be- 
lieved the  love  that  God  hath  to  us. 
^God  is  love;  and  '^he  that  dwelleth 
in  love  dwelleth  in  God,  and  God  in 
him. 

17  Herein  is  ^our  love  made  per- 
fect, that  ''we  may  have  boldness  in 
the  day  of  judgment:  'because  as  he 
is,  so  are  we  in  this  world. 

18  There  is  no  fear  in  love;  but  per- 
fect love  casteth  out  fear:   because

fear  hath  torment.      He  that  feareth 
'is  not  made  perfect  in  love. 

19  We  love  him,  because  he  first 
loved  us. 

20  "If  a  man  say,  I  love  God,  and 
hateth  his  brother,  he  is  a  liar:  for 
he  that  loveth  not  his  brother  whom 
he  hath  seen,  how  can  he  love  God 
""whom  he  hath  not  seen  ?

we  from  him.  That  he  who  loveth 
God  love  his  brother  also.

which  said,  *Come  up  hither,  ''and  I 
will  shew  thee  things  which  must  be

throne. 

3  And  he  that  sat  was  to  look  upon 
like  a  jasper  and  a  sardine  stone:  -^and 
there  was  a  rainbow  round  about  the

'*a  sea  of  glass  like  unto  crystal :  "and 
in  the  midst  of  the  throne,  and  round 
about  the  throne,  were  four  beasts 
full  of  eyes  before  and  behind.

Isa.  6.  2  Above  it  stood  the  seraphims:  each 
one  had  six  wings  ;  with  twain  he  cov- 
ered his  face,  and  with  twain  he  cov- 
ered his  feet,  and  with  twain  he  did 
fly. 

3  And  one  cried  unto  another,  and 
said.  Holy,  holy,  holy,  is  the  Lord 
of  hosts  :  tht  whole  earth  is  full  of  his 
glory. 

Eze.  I.  4  And  I  looked,  and,  behold,  a 
whirlwind  came  out  of  the  north,  a 
great  cloud,  and  a  fire  infolding  itself, 
and  a  brightness  was  about  it,  and  out 
of  the  midst  thereof  as  the  colour  of 
amber,  out  of  the  midst  of  the  fire. 

5  Also  out  of  the  midst  thereof  came 
the  likeness  of  four  living  creatures. 
And  this  was  their  appearance  ;  they 
had  the  likeness  of  a  man. 

6  And  every  one  had  four  faces,  and 
every  one  had  four  wings. 

7  And  their  feet  were  straight  feet ; 
and  the  sole  of  their  feet  was  like  the 
sole  of  a  calf  's  foot :  and  they  sparkled 
like  the  colour  of  burnished  brass. 

8  And  they  had  the  hands  of  a  man 
under  their  wings  on  their  four  sides  ; 
and  they  four  had  their  faces  and  their 
wings. 

9  Their  wings  were  joined  one  to  an- 
other ;  they  turned  nat  when  they 
went ;  they  went  every  one  straight  for- 
ward. 

10  As  for  the  likeness  of  their  faces, 
they  four  had  the  face  of  a  man,  and 
the  face  of  a  lion,  on  the  right  side  : 
and  they  four  had  the  face  of  an  ox  on 
the  left  side  ;  they  four  also  had  the 
face  of  an  eagle. 

Eze.  10.  12  And  their  whole  body,  and  their 
bricks,  and  their  hands,  and  their 
wings,  and  the  wheels,  were  full  of 
eyes  round  about,  even  the  wheels  that 
they  four  had. 

13  As  for  the  wheels,  it'was  cried  unto 
them  in  my  hearing,  O  wheel. 

14  And  every  one  had  four  faces :  the 
first  face  was  the  face  of  a  cherub, 
and  the  second  face  was  the  face  of  a 
man,  and  the  third  the  face  of  a  lion, 
and  the  fourth  the  face  of  an  eagle. 

15  And  the  cherubims  were  lifted  up. 
This  is  the  living  creature  that  I  saw 
by  the  river  of  Chebar. 
Eze.  10.  20  This  is  the  living  creature  that  I

they  were  the  cherubims.

2  And  he  opened  the  bottomless 
pit ;  °and  there  arose  a  smoke  out

^locusts  upon  the  earth:  and  unto 
them  was  given  power,  ^as  the  scor-

they  should  be  tormented  five 
months:  and  their  torment  was  as

seek  death,  and  shall  not  find  it  ; 
and  shall  desire  to  die,  and  death 
shall  flee  from  them.

sound    of    their    wings     was  as  the 
sound    of   chariots  of    many  horses 
running  to  battle.

Isa.  1.  10  Hear  the  word  of  the  Lord,  ye 
rulers  of  Sodom;  give  ear  unto  the 
law  of  our  God,  ye  people  of  Gomorrah. 

Jer.  23.  14  I  have  seen  also  in  the  prophets 
of  Jerusalem  a  horrible  thing:  they 
commit  adultery,  and  vialk  in  lies: 
they  strengthen  also  the  hands  of  evil- 
doers, that  none  doth  return  from  his 
wickedness;  they  are  all  of  them  unto 
me  as  Sodom,  and  ihe  inhabitants 
thereof  as  Gomorrah. 

Eze.  16.  48  As  I  live,  said  the  Lord  God, 
Sodom  thy  sister  hath  not  done,  she 
nor  her  daughters,  as  thou  hast  done,

34  O  Jerusalem,  Jerusalem,  which 
killest  the  prophets,  and  stonest  them 
that  are  sent  unto  thee;  how  often 
would  I  have  gathered  thy  children 
together,  as  a  hen  doth  gather  her

Da.  5.  22  And  thou  his  son,  O  Belshazzar. 
hast  not  humbled  thine  heart,  though 
thou  knewest  all  this  ; 

23  But  hast  lifted  up  thyself  against 
the  Lord  of  heaven  ;  and  they  have 
brought  the  vessels  of  his  house  be- 
fore thee,  and  thou,  and  thy  lords,  thy 
wives,  and  thy  concubines,  have  drunk 
wine  in  them  ;  and  thou  hast  praised 
the  gods  of  silver,  and  of  gold,  of 
brass,  iron,  wood,  and  stone,  which 
see  not,  nor  hear,  nor  know :  and 
the  God  in  whose  hand  thy  breath  is, 
and'  whose  are  all  thy  ways,  hast  thou 
not  glorified  :

like  unto  a  leopard,  and  his  feet  were 
as  i/ie  feet  of  a  bear,  and  his  mouth

Behold,  I  will  plead  thy  cause,  and  take

him  ruler  over  kings  ?  he  gave  them 
as  the  dust  to  his  sword,  i^w^z' as  driven

north,  and  he  shall  come  :  from  the 
rising  of  the  sun  shall  he  call  upon 
my  name  :  and  he  shall  come  upon 
princes  as  zipon  mortar,  and  as  the

try    the     spirits    whether  they  are  of 
God  :  because  many  false  prophets  are 
gone  out  into  the  world. 

2  Hereby  know  ye  the  spirit  of  God  : 
Every  spirit  that  confesseth  that  Jesus 
Christ  is  come  in  the  flesh  is  of  God  : 

3  And  every  spirit  that  confesseth 
not  that  Jesus  Christ  is  come  in  the 
flesh  is  not  of  God  :  and  this  is  that 
spirit  of  antichrist,  whereof  ye  have 
heard  that  it  should  come  ;  and  even 
now  already  is  it  in  the  world.

Blessed  is  he  that  ^watcheth,  and

naked,  and  they  see  his  shame. 

16  ''And  he  gathered  them  together 
into  a  place  called  in  the  Hebrew 
tongue  Armageddon. 

17  And  the  seventh  angel  poured 
out  his  vial  into  the  air ;  and  there 
came  a  great  voice  out  of  the  temple

not  since  men  were  upon  the  earth, 
so  mighty  an  earthquake,  and  so

me.  Come  hither;  *I  will  shew  unto 
thee  the  judgment  of  'the  great  whore 
•^that  sitteth  upon  many  waters : 

2  *With  whom  the  kings  of  the 
earth  have  committed  fornication, 
and  'the  inhabitants  of  the  earth 
have  been  made  drunk  with  the 
wine  of  her  fornication. 

3  So  he  carried  me  away  in  the 
spirit  ^into  the  wilderness  :  and  I  saw 
a  woman  sit  '^upon  a  scarlet  coloured 
beast,  full  of  names   of  blasphemy,

""to  give  unto  her  the  cup  of  the  wine 
of  the  fierceness  of  his  wrath. 

20  And  "every  island  fled  away, 
and  the  mountains  were  not  found. 

21  And  *there  fell  upon  men  a 
great  hail  out  of  heaven,  every  stone 
about  the  weight  of  a  talent:  and 
''men  blasphemed  God  because  of 
the  plague  of  the  hail;  for  the  plague 
thereof  was  exceeding  great.

ind-''on  his  head  were  many  crowns  ; 
and  ^he  had  a  name  written,  that  no 
man  knew,  but  he  himself.

smite  the  nations  :  and  he  shall  rule 
th..em  with  a  rod  of  iron  :  and  "he 
treadeth  the  winepress  of  the  fierce- 
ness and  wrath  of  Almighty  God. 

16  And  he  hath  on  his  vesture  and 
on  his  thigh  a  name  written,  "KING 
OF  KINGS,  AND  LORD  OF 
LORDS. 

17  And  I  saw  an  angel  standing  in 
the  sun ;  and  he  cried  with  a  loud 
voice,  ^saying  to  all  the  fowls  that

16  *I  Jesus  have  sent  mine  angel 
to  testify  unto  you  these  things  in 
the  churches.  'I  am  the  root  and 
the  offspring  of  David,  and  '^the 
bright  and  morning  star. 

17  And  the  Spirit  and  *the  bride 
say,  Come.  And  let  him  that  hear- 
eth  say,  Come.  And ''let  him  that  is 
athirst  come.  And  whosoever  will, 
let  him  take  the  water  of  life  freely. 


Chap.    22. 

18  For  I  testify  unto  every  maii 
that  heareth  the  words  of  the  proph- 
ecy of  this  book,  *If  any  man  shall 
add  unto  these  things,  God  shall 
add  unto  him  the  plagues  that  are 
written  in  this  book  : 

19  And  if  any  man  shall  take  away 
from  the  words  of  the  book  of  his 
prophecy,  "God  shall  take  away  his 
part  ^out  of  the  book  of  life,  and 
out  of  Hhe  holy  city,  and  from  the 
things  which  are  written  in  this 
book. 

20  He  which  testifieth  these  things 
saith,  ''Surely  I  come  quickly. 
'^Amen.  'Even  so,  come.  Lord 
Jesus.

§  318.  Paul's  purpose  to  visit  Rome  to  preach  the  gospel  wherein  the  righteous- 
ness of  God  is  revealed, ^ 

§  319.  Gentiles  wilfully  violating  the  knowledge  of  God  manifested  to  them,  were 
given    over    to    reprobate    minds, 

§  320.  Judging  others  we  condemn  selves.  Sinning  without  law  we  perish  with- 
out.     Sinning  under  law,  are  judged  thereby 

§  321.  Jews  rest  upon  the  law.  Breaking  it,  circumcision  is  profitless.  Circum- 
cision is  of  the   heart,   in  the   spirit, 

§  322.  Though  entrusted  with  the  oracles  the  Jews  were  faithless.  God  was 
faithful  nevertheless  and  thereby  established  his  righteousness 

§  323.  Jew  and  Gentile  alike  are  all  under  sin.  It  is  so  declared  in  the  Scrip- 
tures,      

§  324.  By  the  law  there  is  no  justification,  but  knowledge  of  sin.  God  is  the  jus- 
tifier  of  faith  in  Jesus.  Boasting  is  excluded.  The  law  is  estab- 
lished,      

§  325.  Justification    by    faith    foreshadowed    in    the    righteousness    of    Abraham's

§  326.  Being  justified  we  have  peace,  hope  of  glory,  reconciliation  and  salvation 
through      Christ, 

§  Z27.  Through  Adam  many  became  sinners.  Through  Christ  many  became 
righteous.  The  law  entered  that  sin  might  abound,  but  grace 
much    more,     

§  328.  Continue  not  in  sin  for  grace.  The  faithful  in  Christ  are  dead  unto  sin 
and   death,   and  alive   unto    God, 

§  329.  Freed  from  sin  ye  became  servants  of  righteousness.  The  wages  of  sin  is 
death.     God's  gift  is  eternal  life, 

§330.   The  dominion  of  the  law  and  the   freedom  therefrom  illustrated, 

§  331'  By  the  law  is  the  knowledge  of  sin.  It  is  spiritual.  The  inward  man  de- 
lights therein.  Carnal  members  war  against  it.  Deliverance  is  in 
Christ 

§  3i2.  No  condemnation  to  them  in  Christ.  Having  received  the  spirit  of  adop- 
tion  we  become  children  of  God  and  joint  heirs   with   Christ, 

§  ZZZ-  All  creation  awaits  redemption,  the  glory  of  which  will  greatly  over- 
shadow the  present  trial  and  suffering, 

§  334.  The  Spirit  helps,  and  Christ  intercedes  for  God's  elect;  therefore  noth- 
ing shall  be  able  to  separate  them  from  the  love  of  God, 

§  ^35.   Not  all   Israel,   God  worketh   his  will   in   mercy   with   compassion 

§  336.  The  creature  shall  not  reply  against  the  Creator.  Gentiles  attain  to  the 
righteousness  of  faith  at   which   the   Jews  stumbled,..., 

§  Z37-  The  Jews  though  zealous  erred  in  their  knowledge  of  God's  righteous- 
ness, beholding  the  letter  of  the  law  rather  than  the  spirit  thereof, 

§  338.  The  gospel  was  proclaimed  by  Moses  and  the  prophets.  The  disobedient 
Jews     hearkened     not, .* 

§  339-  Israel  is  not  cast  off  but  found  not  that  which  was  sought;  being  hard- 
ened. The  election  obtained  it,  and  salvation  is  come  to  the  Gen- 
tiles,       

§  340.  The  severity  of  God  toward  unbelief,  and  his  goodness  toward  faith  are 
illustrated   in   the   figure    of   a   graft, 

§  341.  The  Deliverer  shall  come  out  of  Zion,  All  Israel  shall  be  saved.  The 
ways  of  God  are  past  finding  out, 

§  342.  An  exhortation  to  love  God,  the  faithful  performance  of  duty,  and  love 
toward     men,      

§  343.  An  exhortation  to  be  subject  to  the  higher  powers,  love  to  man,  and  a 
pure    and    sober    life, 

§  344.  Admonished  to  be  charitable,  not  to  judge.  Put  no  stumbling  blocks, 
but   to    follow   righteousness,   joy,    peace    and   edification, 

§  345.  Exhortation  to  bear  with  the  weak,  please  our  fellowmen  unto  good  as 
did   Christ,  and  to  glorify  God  as  it  is  written, 

§  346.  Paul  reminds  the  Romans  of  his  ministry,  declares  his  purpose  to  visit 
them,    and    solicits    their    prayers,

Jesus   humbled    himself    unto    death    and    is    honored    above    angels 

Christ  Jesus  more  worthy  than  Moses.  Warning  exhortation  from

Christ,  a  High  Priest  after  the  order  of  ^lelchiscdec,  is  superior  to  the 
Levitical     priesthood, 

Being  dull,  they  understood  not.  Admonished  to  leave  the  first  princi-

Christ  our  High  Priest  in  heaven  is  mediator  of  a  new  covenant,  fulfilling 

shadows     and     prophecies 

The    ministration    of    the    first    covenant    failed    to    make    the    worshipers 

perfect,     

Christ    offered    himself    for    sin    and   entered    the    heavenlies,    whence    he 

shall    appear   the    second   time   with    salvation, :

Introduction 

God  is  light  and  has  no  fellowship  with  darkness.  Confession  and 
forgiveness     of     sins, 

Jesus  Christ  our  Advocate  and  a  propitiation.  Keep  his  word.  L,ove  is 
light,   hate   is   darkness, 

Special  messages.     Love  not  the  world,  it  passeth  awky.     Antichrist,.... 

The  love  of  God.  The  sons  of  God  and  the  sons  of  the  devil  are  mani- 
fest    in     deeds, 

We  may  knc  •'  we  are  of  the  truth  if  we  live  in  the  deed  of  the  truth,.  . .  . 

The  proof  of  the  spirit  of  truth  and  the  spirit  of  error, 

God  is  love.     God  loves  us.     We  ought  to  love  one  another, 

The  Spirit  beareth  witness.  All  that  believe  overcome  the  world  and 
have     life, 

These  things  are  written  unto  believers  that  they  may  know  they  have 
eternal     life,

General  Instructions. 


There  are  six  maps.  One  to  each  of  the  outline  divisions  except  I. 
and  VIII.  These  require  none.  The  Topic  index,  pages  1402-1406,  will 
Serve  as  a  table  of  harmony  to  follow  this  study  in  a  brief  way.  For  ti!ne 
and  place  refer  to  the  Topic  line  of  each  (§)  section  throughout  the  Gospels. 
The  chronological  order  is  that  of  Dr.  Edward  Robinson.  In  reading  it 
follow  the  sections  in  their  numerical  order.  The  Gospel  accounts  are 
printed  in  ten  point  (large)  type.  At. a  glance  it  may  be  seen  if  there  is 
more  than  one  account.  Every  verse  of  each  Gospel  is  found  in  their 
respective  columns.  Consecutive  verse  and  chapter  order  is  sometimes 
broken,  but  subjects  are  never  broken.  Use  the  chapter  and  verse  index 
to  locate  any  portion  of  any  gospel. 

In  Sunday-schools,  if  the  teacher  wishes  to  be  brief,  the  lecture  plan 
may  be  used,  narrating  connectedly  Sabbath  by  Sabbath,  noting  carefully 
the  intervening  events  and  circumstances,  while  he  points  out  to  his  class 
the  various  movements  from  place  to  place,  and  time  to  time.  Better, 
however,  to  adopt  an  active  working  plan  for  all,  and  drill  the  learners  in 
the  narrative,  and  rxjuire  them  to  trace  the  movements  upon  the  maps 
usually  given  in  thf  Quarterlies. 

Superintendents  may  draw  a  plain  map  of  Palestine  upon  the  Black- 
board, and  if  he  wishes  to  be  brief,  he  may  narrate,  as  he  traces  before 
the  school,  in  his  daily  and  quarterly  reviews.  Better,  however,  if  he  can 
draw  all  the  narrative,  time,  place  and  salient  truths  from  his  school,  as 
^ime  will  allow. 

In  family  circles  the  parent  may  read  the  Gospel  text  of  each  event  in 
order,  day  by  day,  and  gather  the  family  about  him  to  look  over  his 
shoulder  while  he  traces  the  movements  upon  the  map,  adding  the  needed 
note  and  explanation.  Better  still,  permit  all  who  are  able  to  take  part. 
Let  one  read  Matthew's  account;  others  the  parallel  accounts,  if  any,  each 
using  a  common  Bible  so  that  they  may  become  skilled  in  handling  it. 
Let  another  observe  time  and  place  by  these  helps;  still  another  may  pro- 
duce.a  new  diagram  upon  maps.  The  younger  children  may  be  taught  by 
the  mother  from  pictures  found  in  the  family  Bible  or  elsewhere;  there  is 
an  abundance  of  them.  Family  worship  should  be  largely  for  the  chil- 
dren's instruction. 

The  student  whose  duty  it  is  to  teach  large  classes,  congregations. 
Normal  classes,  etc.,  should  master  one  division  at  a  time;  by  and  by  he 
may  be  able  to  trace  and  recite  from  memory  the  whole  of  the  Gospel  story.

I.     Introductions. 


§  I.  Is  John's  prologue  or  introduction  in  which  he  introduces  Christ 
as  the  Word,  the  Life,  and  the  Light.  §  2.  Is  Luke's  preface,  in  which 
he  tells  to  whom  and  why  he  wrote  his  Gospel  letter.  These  two  intro- 
ductory sections  could  not  easily  be  arranged  more  appropriately  than  at 
the  beginning.  In  this  work  we  cannot  begin  with  Matthew's  account, 
since  he  does  not  narrate  the  earliest  events. 


1 


II.     Childhood,  Youth  and  Ministry  to  the  First  Passover. 


§  3.  *'An  angel  appears  to  Zacharias"  at  Jerusalem^  announcing  the 
birth  of  John,  who  would  ''make  ready  a  people  prepared  for  the  Lord/' 
§  4.  An  angel  announces  the  birth  of  Jesus  to  Mary  at  Nazareth.  Tracing 
begins  with  this  section.  Follow  the  upper  line  across  the  margin  on  the 
map  to  Nazareth;  hold  the  pencil  there.  §  5.  Mary  now  visits  Elizabeth, 
the  mother  of  John,  her  cousin,  at  Hebron.  Trace  her  journey  thither  by 
following  the  line  in  the  direction  of  the  arrow  heads.  The  Scripture  tells 
us,  "She  abode  with  her  about  three  months  and  returned  to  her  own 
house."  Trace  her  journey  back  to  Nazareth.  §  6.  Pertains  to  John; 
in  this  work  we  have  not  traced  his  life.  §  7.  Is  our  Lord's  genealogy. 
It  requires  no  tracing.  §  8,  §9.  Joseph  takes  Mary  with  him  from  Naz- 
areth\o  Bethlehem  to  be  taxed.  Our  Lord  is  Born.  §  10.  The  circum- 
cision takes  place.  After  the  purification,  they  go  to  Jerusalem  to  present 
him  to  the  Lord.  Simeon  and  Anna  come  in  and  prophesy.  §11.  The 
wise  men  come  from  the  East.  §  12.  Being  warned  of  God  they  flee  to 
Egypt.  Herod  slays  the  children.  After  Herod's  death  they  return  to 
Nazareth.  Egypt  adjoins  on  the  southwest  of  Palestine,  but  is  not  shown; 
therefore  the  lines  are  made  to  cross  the  margin.  §  13.  The  time  of  the 
coming  of  the  wise  men,  and  the  sojourn  in  Egypt  is  not  known.  They 
dwell  at  Nazareth  until  the  child  is  twelve  years  of  age.  He  accompanies 
them  to  the  feast  of  the  passover  at  Jerusalem.  They  return  lo  Nazareth. 
A  period  of  eighteen  years  passes  by  of  which  there  is  no  record.  §  14- 
The  time  of  John's  ministry  is  at  hand.  §  15.  When  Jesus  is  thirty  years 
of  age  he  leaves  his  home  at  Nazareth  and  goes  to  Jordan,  unto  John  to 
be  baptized.  Probably  about  Bethabara,  beyond  Jordan.  §  16.  He  is 
led  of  the  spirit  into  the  wilderness.  Probably  the  Wilderness  of  Judea. 
According  to  Matthew  the  Devil  takes  him  to  the  temple  at  Jerusalem,  then 
to  a  mountain.  Tradition  says  near  Jericho.  §17.  He  now  goes  to  John 
again  at  Bethabara,  beyond  Jordan.  §  18,  §  19.  John's  disciples  come 
unto  him.  He  finds  Philip,  the  latter  finds  Nathaniel.  §  20.  Jesus  and 
these  are  invited  to  a  marriage  at  Cana,  in  Galilee,  where  he  turns  the 
water  into  wine — his  first  miracle.  He  then  goes  to  Capernaum,  where  he 
tarries  until  the  time  of  the  passover.

III.     First  Passover  to  the  Second  Passover. 


We  left  Jesus  at  Capernaum.  §  21.  John  tells  us  ''they  continued 
there  not  many  days."  Jesus  goes  to  Jerusalem  to  the  passover.  He 
cleanses  the  temple.  §  22.  Nicodemus  comes  to  him  by  night  and  is  in- 
structed. §  23.  Jesus  and  his  disciples  tarry  in  Judea  during  the  summer 
of  A.  D.  27,  baptizing,  while  John  continues  his  ministry  about  Salim  and 
Aenon.  §  24.  John  is  now  imprisoned  by  Herod  at  Machaerus.  When 
Jesus  learned  of  this,  he  departs  from  Judea  for  Galilee,  through  Samaria. 
§  25.  He  meets  the  woman  at  the  well,  at  Sychar,  and  discourses.  §  26, 
§  27.  He  passes  into  Galilee  teaching  publicly.  He  comes  to  Cana,  where 
he  heals  the  nobleman's  son  lying  sick  at  Capernaum.  §  28.  He  comes 
to  Nazareth,  his  home,  and  is  rejected.  §  29.  He  therefore  leaves  Nazar- 
eth to  dwell  at  Capernaum.  §  30.  He  walks  by  the  seashore,  calls  four  of 
his  disciples,  and  directs  them  to  a  miraculous  draft  of  fish.  §  31,  §  32. 
He  heals  a  demoniac  in  the  Synagogue,  Peter's  wife's  mother,  and  many 
others.  §  33.  He  now  leaves  Capernaum  and  with  his  disciples  makes  his 
first  missionary  circuit  throughout  Galilee.  §  34.  During  this  circuit, 
which  is  indicated  by  a  circle,  he  heals  a  leper  in  an  unnamed  city;  this 
is  signified  by  an  angle  in  the  circle  to  aid  the  memory.  §  35.  They  re- 
turned to  Capernaum  and  he  heals  a  paralytic.  §  36.  He  calls  Matthew, 
who  makes  a  feast.  Dr.  Edward  Robinson  places  this  feast  later;  it  is 
found  in  §  71  and  §  72  in  the  table  of  Harmony  or  Topic  index,  as  it  is 
named  in  this  work,  on  page  1403.  ^

III.     First  Passover  to  the  Second  Passover. 


IV.     Second  Passover  to  the  Third  Passover. 


We  left  Jesus  at  Capernaum.  §  37,  §  38.  He  now  goes  up  to  Jerusa- 
lem to  the  passover.  The  impotent  man  at  the  pool  is  healed  on  the  Sab- 
bath and  he  discourses  to  the  Jews  who  seek  to  slay  him.  §  39.  He  is  on 
his  way  to  Galilee.  While  passing  through  the  corn  fields  on  the  Sabbath 
his  disciples  pluck  ears  of  corn.  §  40.  Another  Sabbath  on  this  journey, 
he  enters  the  Synagogue  of  an  unnamed  city  of  Galilee  and  heals  the 
withered  hand.  The  Pharisees  take  counsel  to  destroy  him.  §  41.  He 
withdraws  to  the  sea,  followed  by  multitudes,  healing  many.  Observe 
that  the  line  does  not  pass  close  to  the  sea  on  account  of  other  lines,  but 
the  general  direction  of  all  lines  will  aid  in  fixing  the  order  of  events, 
§42,  §43.  Jesus  now  goes  up  into  a  mountain  to  pray.  Probably  the  Horns 
of  Hatten,  near  Capernaum.  He  choses  the  twelve  and  delivers  the  sermon 
on  the  mount  to  them  as  recorded  by  Matthew,  after  which  he  comes  down 
upon  the  plain  and  repeats  it  as  recorded  by  Luke.  §  44.  He  enters 
Capernaum  and  heals  the  centurian's  servant.  §  45.  The  next  day  he 
went  to  Nain,  where  he  raises  the  widow's  son.  §46,  §47,  §48.  About 
this  time  messengers  from  John  the  Baptist  come  to  him.  He  upbraids  the 
favored  cities  and  calls  the  meek  and  suffering.  §  49.  He  goes  to  Caper- 
naum, where  his  feet  are  anointed  at  a  Pharisee's  table.  §  50.  Jesus  now 
makes  his  second  missionary  circuit  throughout  Galilee,  with  the  twelve 
and  the  women.  §  5i-§  58.  Are  events  that  took  place  and  discourses 
delivered  during  the  second  circuit.  §  59-§  67.  Jesus  seems  to  have  re- 
turned again  to  Capernaum.  He  goes  out  by  the  seaside,  where  great  mul- 
titudes come  unto  him  and  he  leaches  by  many  parables.  §  68.  He  now 
departs  across  the  lake.  §69.  A  great  storm  arises;  hestills  the  tempest. 
§  70.  They  come  into  the  country  of  the  Gadarenes,  where  devils  are  cast 
out  of  two  demoniacs.  §  71,  §  72.  Our  Lord  returns  to  Capernaum  again. 
Levi  gives  a  feast.  By  some  this  feast  is  given  just  after  his  call  as  noted 
in  §36. — §73.  Jarius'  daughter  is  raised  from  the  dead.  On  the  way 
thither  he  heals  a  woman  of  an  issue  of  blood.  §  74.  Jesus  now  leaves 
Capernaum.  He  is  followed  by  two  blind  men  whom  he  heals.  §75,  §76. 
He  comes  to  Nazareth  a  second  time  and  is  rejected.  He  continues  his 
third  missionary  circuit  throughout  Galilee.  §77.  During  this  circuit  he 
instructs  and  sends  forth  the  twelve.  §78,  §79.  These  events  pertain  to 
Herod  and  John  the  Baptist  who  was  beheaded  about  this  time.  §  80. 
The  twelve  return  to  him.  He  takes  them  into  a  desert  place  by  ship,  to 
rest.  Bethsaida  (Julius)  on  the  northeast  coast  of  the  sea.  Multitudes 
follow  him.  He  feeds  the  five  thousand.  §81.  He  sends  his  disciples 
across  the  sea.  .  Jesus  went  up  into  the  mountain  to  pray.  During  the 
night  a  storm  arises.  Jesus  went  unto  them,  walking  on  the  sea.  Peter 
comes  unto  him  and  sinks.  §82.  They  come  into  the  land  of  Gennesaret 
(the  fertile  plain  extending  several  miles  south  of  Capernaum  along  the  sea 
coast)  where  he  heals  many.  §83.  He  comes  to  Capernaum,  whither  also 
came  the  multitudes  whom  he  had  fed.  He  discourses  on  the  bread  of  life. 
§84.  Many  disciples  turn  back,  but  Peter  professes  faith  for  the  twelve. 
The  time  oi  the  third  Passover  is  at  hand. 


IV.     Second  Passover  to  the  Third  Passover. 


V.    Third  Passover  to  the  Last  Week. 


There  is  no  evidence  that  Jesus  attended  this  passover.     §85.     Scribes 
and  Pharisees  from  Jerusalem  came  to  Jesus  at  Capernaum  with  fault  con- 
cerning   unvvashen    hands    whom    he    answers.     §86.      Jesus   now    leaves 
Capernaum  and  goes  into  the    borders    of   Tyre  and  Sidon  (Phoenicia), 
He  heals  the   daughter  of  a  Syrophoenitian  woman.     §87.     He  depart? 
from  thence  and  came  unto  the  sea  of  Galilee  through  the  coasts  of  Deca- 
polis  on  the  eastern  shores.      His  route  is  not  intimated  ;  for  convenience 
we  extend  it  around  by  the  north.     A  deaf  and  dumb  man  is  healed,   and 
many  others  during  this  journey.  ^SS.  He  comes  to  a  wilderness  by  the  south- 
eastern coast,   where  he    feeds    the    four   thousand.      He    takes    ship   for 
Magdala.      §89.      Here  Pharisees  and  Saducees  again  require  a  sign.      He 
now  departs  for  the  other  side.      §90.      He  warns  his  disciples.     §91.     They 
come    to  Bethsaida  (Julius).      A  blind  man  is  healed.     §92.     They  pass 
through  the  region  of  Caesarea  Philippi.    Peter  for  the  rest  again  professes 
their   faith.     §93.     Jesus  fortells  his  death  and  resurrection.     §94,  §95. 
The  transfiguration  is  witnessed  by  three — probably  on  Mt.  Hermon.     He 
charges  them.     §96.     When  he  joins  the  other  disciples  and  the  multitude, 
he  heals  a  lunatic  whom  his  disciples  could  not  heal.     §97.      He  passes 
quietly  into  Galilee  and  again  foretells  his  death  and  resurrection.   §98-§io5. 
These  are  events  that  transpire  after  they  have  come  to  Capernaum.   §106. 
They  now  go  up  to  Jerusalem  to  attend  the  feast  of  tabernacles.     Jesus 
leaves  secretly.      §107.     The  time  being  at  hand  he  joins  them,  they  come 
to  a  village  in  Samaria,  who  receive  them  not.     §108.     At  another  village 
he  heals  ten  lepers.   Edward  Robinson  makes  this  our  Lord's  final  departure 
from  Galilee.     Some  others  do  not;  who  fix  a  later  journey  through  these 
parts  and  ascribe  this  event  to  that  time.     For  simplicity  of  order  we  have 
not  traced  a  later  journey,   and  therefore  this  event   retains    this   place. 
§i09-§iii.     Jesus  attends  the  feast  of  tabernacles  and  teaches    publicly. 
The  woman  taken  in  adultery  is  brought  to  him.      He  disputes  with  the 
I   Pharisees  who  attempt  to  stone  him  again.     §112.      He  answers  a  lawyer 
in   the  parable  of  the  good  Samaritan.      §113-      He  visits    Martha    and 
Mary.      §ii4-§ii6.      These  events  transpire  while  in  and  about  Jerusalem. 
§117,  §118.     The  man  born  blind  is  healed  on  the  Sabbath  and  discourses 
on  the  good  shepherd.      §119-     At  the  feast  of  the  dedication  he  is  pressed 
upon  by  the  Jews  who  seek  to  take  him.      §120.     He  now  retires  beyond 
Jordan,  where  John  baptized  (Bethabara).     §121.     Lazarus  dies.     Jesus 
is  sent  for.      He  goes  to  Bethany  and  raises  Lazarus.      §122.      Caiaphas 
holds  a  counsel  against  Jesus.      He  therefore  left  Jerusalem  and  retired  to 
1  Ephraim.     §123.      It  is  at  this  time  that  another  journey  into  Galilee  is 
ascribed  to  our  Lord.      This  may  be  probable.      He  now  goes  beyond 
Jordan.    §i25-§i48.    The  parables,  public  instruction  and  events  recorded 
in  these  sections  are  all  ascribed  to  his  ministry  beyond  Jordan,  and  are 
usually  referred  to  as  his  Peraean  ministry.     It  will  be  observed  that  places 
are  not  definitely  mentioned.      §149.       Two  blind  men  are  healed  near 
Jericho.     §150,  §151.      He  visits  Zacchaeus  at  Jericho  and  gives  the  para- 
ble of  the  ten  pounds.      He  goes  up  toward  Jerusalem.      §152,  §153.      He 
arrives  at  Bethany  six  days  before  the  passover.      He  is  anointed  by  Mary.

§  154.  Our  Lord  makes  his  public  entry  journeying  from  Bethany  to 
the  temple  at  Jerusalem.  At  eventide  he  retires  to  Bethany.  This  he 
does  three  different  times  during  the  week  which  is  illustrated  by  three 
loops  that  could  not  all  be  made  to  approach  Bethany  closely,  but  which 
will  serve  to  fix  the  events  in  their  order.  §  155.  On  his  way  to  the  city 
Monday  morning  he  curses  the  fig  tree.  §  156.  He  cleanses  the  temple 
the  second  time.  At  even  he  retires  to  Bethany.  §  157,  §  158.  Tuesday 
morning  on  their  way  to  the  city  His  disciples  observe  the  withered  fig 
tree.  §i59-§i79.  These  twenty-one  sections  record  the  public  teachings 
of  our  Lord  on  this  day  and  Judas*  covenant  to  betray  him.  It  is  probable 
that  Wednesday  was  spent  in  the  quiet  rest  at  Bethany  with  his  disciples. 
§180,  §181.  Thursday  witnesses  the  preparation  for  his  last,  the  great 
passover,  which  they  celebrate  in  the  evening  in  the  upper  room  at  Jerusa- 
lem. §i82-§i9i.  These  sections  record  the  events  of  the  supper  and  our 
Lord's  final  instructions  to  his  disciples,  and  his  prayer.  §192.  They 
sing  a  hymn  and  go  out  to  the  Mount  of  Olives  into  the  garden  of  Geth- 
semane  where  he  passes  through  agony  for  the  whole  world.  §193.  He 
is  betrayed  and  made  prisoner  at  midnight.  §i94-§2oo.  These  sections 
record  the  various  events  of  His  trial.  §201.  Judas  repents  and  hangs 
himself.  §202-§209.  These  sections  record  the  events  of  his  crucifixion, 
§210,  §211.      He  is  buried  and  a  guard  is  set  at  his  tomb.

VII.     The  Forty  Days. 


In  this  period  the  tracings  do  not  refer  to  our  Lord's  movements,  nor 
those  of  his  apostles  and  disciples.  They  are  intended  to  be  some  assist- 
ance to  the  mind  to  observe  order. 

§2i2-§2i7.  These  sections  present  the  early  events  of  that  memor- 
able morn.  §218.  It  is  afternoon.  Cleopas  and  his  companion  walk 
with  Jesus  on  their  way  to  Emmaus.  Probably  about  the  time  they  had 
left  Jerusalem  or  after  Jesus  h  i  left  them.  He  appeared  to  Peter  (Cephas) 
as  recorded  by  Luke  24:34.  §219.  It  is  evening,  when  the  two  had  re- 
turned from  Emmaus  to  Jerusalem,  they  found  the  eleven  gathered  together, 
except  Thomas;  Jesus  appears  in  their  midst.  He  bids  them  tarry  in 
Jerusalem.  §220.  A  week  rolls  by.  They  are  gathered  together  again. 
Thomas  is  present.  He  appears  in  their  midst  again.  §221,  §222.  These 
two  appearances  occurred  some  time  between  the  last  event  and  May  18 
following,  the  date  of  the  ascension,  in  Galilee.  The  one  by  the  sea,  the 
other  on  an  unnamed  mountain.  §223.  He  probably  sees  James  at  Jeru- 
salem as  recorded  by  Paul — I.  Cor.  15:7.  Then  by  the  twelve  assembled 
together.  §224.  He  leads  them  out  as  far  as  Bethany  and  they  witness 
his  ascension.  Thus  closes  the  most  wonderful  record  the  world  has  ever 
known.  Master  this  literal  study,  and  there  is  the  promise  that  its  spiritual 
truth  and  Life  is  yours  if  you  desire  it.

at  the  beginning,  both  wonderful  and  profound.  Now  receive  the  blessed
